While this book is reminiscent of the early dystopian Dustland series by Moira Young, it’s perfect for fans of western themed books like Erin Bowman’s other series Vengeance Road and Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis. This action-packed apocalyptic origin story unravels into a unique and original science fiction tale that combines classic dystopian themes with wild west elements. The writing is pretty straightforward without much flowery language, and the worldbuilding provides a solid sense of place. While not always the most likeable character, readers can relate to Delta’s courage and drive in the face of impossible odds. It means more than you know Talk soon Tyler Piperbrook June 2019 WAR. But the search for her family and the lost paradise of Verdant is long and perilous, filled with solar flares, geomagnetic storms, armed enemies, and endless seas of dust and desert.ĭustborn is a non-stop, post-apocalyptic joyride! Delta is absolutely ruthless and willing to do whatever she must to find her family. In the meantime, if I've managed to surprise or entertain you, please leave a review. With everyone she knows gone and in danger, Delta sets off to rescue them with the help of an old childhood friend, Asher. When her village is attacked by the mysterious General and her family is kidnapped, Delta knows they are after her and the secret map branded on her back. Delta is the kind of practical, world-hardened character that one becomes when your only mode is survive until tomorrow, then survive some more. But there are some secrets that should never be shared, ones that put everyone in danger. With her home in ashes and a useless baby in tow (so NOT what you need in a post-apocalyptic wasteland), Delta sets her sights on saving her family, no matter the cost.

Delta of Dead River knows that survival in the Wasteland means two things: a family you can trust and a shoot first, ask questions later attitude.
