In the future there is just one city. Spire. Home to millions, it is a single spike of civilization surrounded by an eternal storm. The roaring winds keep the bad things out and the people in. But now the storm is moving... ...and one man has found a way to escape.
This is an interesting dark-dystopian short story. The trouble that I had with this book was the method in which it was told. It is written in continuous Flash Backs, some of which are in a non-chronological order. The result of this writing style left the story choppy, and difficult to keep up with. It took a great deal of effort for me to reason out the plot. Having said all that, I will say that the story underneath this perplexing style was worth reading. Readers of the science fiction, dystopian and short story genres might enjoy this book.
