Publisher's summary

Newly revised version now read by award-winning narrator Sean Runnette!

From birth to death, The War is all the citizens of Dystance know. As children it is drilled into their heads that war is the purpose behind all existence.

Winter doesn't agree. She's stumbled across remnants of life the way it was before The War began, and now she longs to be as free as her ancestors.

With help from her best friend, Cedar, and the boy she is forbidden to love, Tallow, she believes she can do it. Winter can see a life beyond the Pickets, beyond the constant hunger and the threat of death, beyond the war machine.

Can one teenage girl and her dream of a better life really change the whole world?

Same book

I love Mark Tufo's books and always look forward to the next release of which ever book he has just finished. I was very disappointed when I started this story, I have already listened to this book, but with a woman telling it. I have been waiting for the next installation, and was even excited because it has Sean Runnette reading it, but sadly it was the same book with a different reader. :'(

A new Talbots dynasty

Good story and, as always by Runnette, good narration. More of a young adult novel but enjoyable all the same.

Gods read

I read this book in 2 days and still give it 4out of 5 stars. Great story I love bringing characters from some of the other stories and the new ones. The only thing I did not care for is the romance, that is not to say by any means this is a romance novel.

I loved it

I just finished (but hope I haven't and that there's more coming) the Zombie Fallout series and cannot stop listening to every Tufo book I can get. I am excited to have started this series and loved the first book. On to book two!

Fantastic narration for a developing series.

You can tell this is an evolving story, perhaps not completely yet sure where its going. Still hooked me, though. And Sean Runette is the narrator king!

SEAN GIVES THIS A UNIQUE TWIST! SURPRISE ENDING!

Well, I like how Mark rebranded this one...I see what he did...and I think I kinda know where he is gonna go with this one; Well maybe..Mark is unpredictable most times....But I like what I heard! I loved the old version too, this one took me a minute to settle into, because I had listened to the old one 3 times and was in love with the characters already, I could hear them in my head, the old way...lol I am huge Sean Runnette fan, so it just took a bit to get used to this way..and he did a great job, he gave the story a lot of heart, and humor...and he made me believe it all over again...Im really excited that Winter made it this time..and I cant wait to listen to the next one!!!

ANOTHER WINNER MR TUFO!!! I RECOMMEND!!!!
