It is a very fine line to walk for a writer who is building a world for his or her story, especially when that world is in our future.

It is doubly hard when there are two worlds to consider - one thirty years apart in time from the one in the main body of the story. And both still in our future. And yet that is what S. Garcia has done with such a deft touch in this amazingly original book. Set sometime in the future, in what appears to be a post nuclear event world, a physically twisted young man named Trill chances upon a Netpad as he and his companions visit "sacred" grounds. Hiding it from the rest of the group, which includes his boyfriend Shatter, Trill ventures home and trades some of his prized possessions to the local junk dealer for what he hopes is a functional battery for the Netpad.

When it works, what he finds is the story of one of his heroes, Pokatawer, who led a group south away from the destroyed and unsafe area of ManH. And so begins the story of Sam Devine who, thirty years before, was instrumental in a rebellion against the corporate powers that have replaced government in what was the United States. During Sam's lifetime, the U. After a nuclear event, ManH Manhattan is isolated from many others, parts of it unsafe, the weather uncertain because of the attacks.

The area is buffeted by storms called Howlers, and only Sam's technological innovation helps keep the area safe, and him alive and doing the bidding of his BCM corporate masters. Seems he was slated for death, but was rescued from execution by Dan, a man who believed in him. Seems he is allowed some leeway as long as he doesn't outlive his usefulness.

But his attitude is a problem for TPTB. Captured as part of an attack, he is slated for torture and experimentation as the leaders of BCM attempt to learn the secrets of a new drug the enemy is using to make the user into a beserker. Recognizing a kindred spirit, and sick of the inhumanity, Sam steps in and saves the young warrior, offering to BCM to unlock his secrets in exchange for his freedom. What follows is an amazing whirlwind ride of danger, love and unexpected twists and turns. Garcia has taken this story, and me, by the balls and turned us every which way but loose.

I was stunned by the detail she worked in about the world these characters populate. From the descriptions of the ride into the city by Sam to the brutal storm that shakes his house, and then to Trill's world, where harm and death hide in the beauty and old skeletal remains of homes and cities.

It is a bleak, haunting, vividly imagined world that drew me in and both horrified and fascinated me. But the really touching part? In the midst of what is the crumbling of the world as we know it, two men, thirty years apart, take the chance and open their hearts to each other and forge an uncertain future together. Sam and Pokatawer, and Till and Shatter, each venture out of what is and into what could be. Not the average boy meets boy and happily ever after story here. Oct 20, Susan rated it really liked it.

At first, I was confused and thought I was reading some random gibberish. Then, I realized, this IS random gibberish! What I felt, however, was not frustration. The story within the story was fun and funny and adventurous and creative and mind-boggling. I loved the quirky characters: I already miss them. View all 10 comments.

I hope to see more from this intriguing and talented writer. If you are looking to take a risk, get this book. Oct 27, Syfy rated it it was amazing Shelves: This story just sweeps you along, curious and cringing. Heart bleeding for Tren, willing for him. Knowing that what he is reading is history, yet falling in love and hope with the heroes Po, Sam, Dan and Dirk, right along with him.

A story within a story Oh man, this is good stuff! View all 4 comments. Nov 12, S. Above all, hello, this about global warming and placing weapons in the wrong hands. I have a quibble with myself. Yes, it should have been longer. There may be a follow up here But what is there is beyond what I have ever written. The story is more intense and brutal than my other tales. I know folks don't like authors rating their babies. Cheering this on to be a major motion picture! Dec 09, Lamar54 rated it it was amazing. I think Garcia can rectify the length issue by writing a collection of stories that tell the complete history of her very well created near future USA.

Possibly publishing an omnibus in the future. I found Sam Devine's story telling voice This could have been a mistake which would have trivialized the story. It worked and greatly added to my reading enjoyment. This is not a typical mm romance and many will be disappointed if they approach it that way. You need to be a sci-fi nerd to truly enjoy this story and view the mm romance as an added bonus. My one complaint is the use of a Netpad. I understand the need to tell the past story, but I was incredulous.

There is a long history in Sci-fi of old devices continuing to work after long periods of time. Garcia is in good company. I hope to read additional works from you set in this universe.
