About one hundred years after the world as we know it comes to an end, Griz and his family survive in isolation on a remote Scottish island. When a stranger arrives and steals Griz’s dog, Griz impulsively goes after him, chasing the thief into the dangerous unknown.

I’m a big fan of dystopian fiction and so the set-up of this book appealed to me. Overall, I liked it a lot, though there were places in the middle of the book that seemed to drag. The story really picked up in the last quarter or so of the novel, though, and the ending was very well done. This book is not Station Eleven or The Stand, but with that said, I recommend it to people who are fans of this genre.
