Description
Across the fractured end of the twenty-first century, multiple generations endure the upheavals of climate collapse and the violent remaking of what was once the United States. At the heart of the cruel, chaotic wastelands of the Southwest are the brother and sister known in whispers as 'the Twins': Tom and Tam MacAllister. Their brief insurrection against the oligarchic powers of a broken nation blazes with elemental force, echoing long after their fall. Half-history, half-legend, their legacy lingers in surpising ways as a bleaker order re-forms. Dennison Smith's taut, luminous prose carries this mythic novel of violence and renewal, confronting what is lost - and what may yet be born.
