Description

Description

In a future America ravaged by climate change, oil is scarce and loyalty is even scarcer. On the Gulf Coast, where the sea has reclaimed much of its land, young people scavenge for parts to survive. Nailer, a teenager with a precarious existence, works on grounded tankers, searching for copper wiring to make quota. One day, he stumbles upon an exquisite clipper ship beached after a hurricane. The discovery sets him on a collision course between two conflicting loyalties: stripping the ship for parts or rescuing its sole survivor, a beautiful and wealthy girl who could offer him a better life. Paolo Bacigalupi's gripping novel is set in a vivid and raw future world that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
