The Winter Is Moving On...
+ If you like moving books, read this one.
+ Tough Girls Finish First!
This book touched me so badly, I cried. It has a beautiful, entrancing plot with an exciting climax. Winter is a likeable and richly textured character.

Street Theatre from your armchair
"...there was the flash of a chisel-tip, just a hand's breadth from my face, then I crashed into the shelves, which juddered. Jars of nails, paint cans, and nameless toolshed things were raining down on me..."

Nick Sagan, 2005
Very Good Dystopian Science Fiction From Nick Sagan, But.....
+ A tentative recommend
