Teenagers are left to cope in the fallout from bad 'shine' which has adversely affected the whole adult population in a futuristic city. Hopi wise-woman, Powaqa and assorted refugees survive at a rural ranch, where old lore is used alongside the revolutionary new technology. Compelling and often exciting post-apocalyptic fiction but for me it poses more questions than it answers. Definite youth appeal – perhaps I’m feeling my age.
