Bacigalupi expands the dystopian future America of Ship Breaker in this companion novel. A violent group of armed child soldiers are hunting the half-man Tool when Mahlia and Mouse, two war orphans, find him almost dead in the jungle. The intense, action-filled story is a heartbreaking and powerfully moving portrait of individual resiliency amidst extreme circumstances.
