In the future, The Company has ruined most of the world...or what we see of it through the eyes of Rachel, a scavenger, a survivor, a person. She is living in the wrecked city with Wick. Life is hard. The city is a scary place because Mord is a destructive large monster in the shape of a bear who can fly and destroys everything in his path. He is a failed project of The Company. Once when out scavenging, Rachel finds Borne. She is not sure what Borne is, he seems to be a plant. Over time, Borne moves around her apartment on his own and develops a personality. Rachel sees herself as Borne's mother. But Borne has a problem. He "tastes" things, he is forever hungry, he is a killer. It is a harsh life but becoming attached to a creature who may kill you is a real weakness. Borne is a threat to the current way of life. Can any good come from him?
At times, I felt like I didn't really understand what was going on in this book but the narrator, Bhani Turpin is so good, you always want to keep listening.
