My Review
I really didn’t know where the author could take the story next, and if I’d had to guess, I would have been wrong!
We’re introduced to a new protagonist, Kate, whose backstory is sad but compelling. In fact, the way they entered cryosleep was through a violent battle, one that was easy to imagine. I mean, wouldn’t you want in if a comet was due to hit earth and wipe out humanity?
Paradise is where they settle: a cohort that has eradicated violence, where people can live in harmony with one another. They build a good life for themselves, but – and isn’t there always a but. This new and wonderful existence is not quite as it seems.
Joanna and Levi continue their nomadic life as peace envoys. They will eventually come across Kate, but not before they encounter others who are very much out for themselves.
It’s incredible to think that only one person wrote this epic story, because that’s exactly what it is. I’ve said it before—it feels like a Hollywood blockbuster, the kind you sit and watch unfold on the big screen.
An incredible series!

Just when Joanna thinks they’re making progress, she learns a cohort is missing.
The bunker’s nearest neighbors claim the inhabitants never woke up from cryosleep, but they might be lying. Joanna and Levi set out to find the missing cohort and uncover the truth. What they discover could spell disaster for every settlement in the country.
Meanwhile, a young survivor called Kate discovers that her isolated community isn’t as idyllic as she thought. She must break free if she has any hope of saving her home.
It turns out Utopia is a moving target.
