A post-apocalyptic re-imagining of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The bulk of the story moves with tough-girl Mina Clark and psychically gifted archivist Lewis Meriweather as they lead a group from the shattered remains of St. Louis, now a walled city called Sanctuary, westward in the hopes of finding a flourishing civilization. Mutant carnivores, armies of slavers, and a psychic menace are all in their way. Sort of a mash-up of King's The Stand, McCarthy's The Road, and Carrie Ryan's The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Read it if you love a good post-apocalyptic, dystopian tale, but ones without zombies.Or read it for the St. Louis connection.Sunday, September 27, 2015
