Audible Editor Reviews
In the future, there are the privileged citizens living in the closed-off
city of Arcone, and the desert-dwelling Wanderers who barely are able
to survive. When one Wanderer decides to attack Arcone, it brings together
Kean and Essa, two teenagers from opposite worlds who form an unlikely
bond. Pat Young performs with a cool edge that conveys the otherworldliness
of Roger Davenport's postapocalyptic scenario, but his style increases
in animation as the plot gains even more momentum and suspense. Wanderer
is an exciting new vision for fans of young adult dystopia such as the
Hunger Games series.
Publisher's Summary
If the desert doesn't kill them, the city will.
Two teenagers come together in a future where staying alive is the only
ambition. Here in a vast lost valley, society has split into two: the
Wanderers, who team together to battle against the elements and each
other in the harsh world of the desert, and those who live in the pyramid-city
of Arcone, whose closed environment and tightly controlled society enable
them to maintain a more civilized existence in the face of an environmentally
devastated planet. Conflict is inevitable....
Kean is a Wanderer, adopted into a team that has protected him since
he was a child. Essa lives with her parents in the pyramid, and chafes
at the mental and physical restrictions the government enforces to protect
its people. But when a rogue Wanderer plans an attack on the city to
gain its resources for his people, Kean and Essa's paths collide with
an impact that will alter their lives forever.
The next in a line of post-apocalyptic coming-of-age stories that began
with Lois Lowry's masterpiece, The Giver, and moved on through the Hunger
Games series, Wanderer is a journey of danger, growth, friendship, and
hope for a new generation.
