Tuath
Tuath by Susanne Carpenter
Past, present and future must combine forces if they are to avert cataclysm and disaster that can only signal the demise of civilisation and of the human race.
Sci-fi, fantasy, action and adventure blend with themes taken from Irish mythology (stories of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Fir Bolg, the Book of Invasions ) to produce an epic saga of unquantifiable proportions.
In a future world, many centuries from now, the last remaining inhabitants of Earth exist in a few isolated enclaves situated across northern Europe. They have managed to overcome much of the onslaught through a loose alliance, constituted in a Council of Europe. Friction and discord among them grow however, as resources dwindle and the struggle for survival intensifies.
Those who are astute enough, realise that they have one last throw of the dice. Their only hope is to travel back in time, to before the events triggered by volcanic eruptions in the year 2027. Their mission is to offset or mitigate the consequences for the future, by introducing technology that they have developed to an earlier time.
Along the way, they must also overcome fear, suspicion, jealousies, personal animosities, treachery, betrayal and mishaps.

I felt like this book had a lot of potential, with some good character concepts and a fairly interesting premise. Unfortunately, the writing was extremely unengaging and none of those characters get developed beyond a basic, these are sort of likeable characters idea. The prose often feels like it comes from a guidebook about ireland, and has some very generic simplicity to it. The romance subplots also just felt like a weird pairing exercise of this character has some shared interests with the other, so they become a thing instantaneously. All in all, a dull read that I couldn't quite bring myself to finish.
