Publisher's summary
Five hundred years in the future, earth is no longer populated by humans.
The new guardians of Earth, the genetically engineered Erta, have reversed climate change. They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo sapiens, all of their work will be undone.
They decide to raise one final child, a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth.
But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a human than she had expected and that there is more to humanity's history than she has been told.

On the edge of the Northern Atlantic lies a remote island. The islanders are an outwardly harmonious community—but all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. And when a strange disorder begins to infect them all, those secrets come to light. Ferry service fails and contact with the mainland is lost. Rumors begin to swirl as a temporary inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal. The fabric of the once tight-knit island is unnervingly torn apart—and whatever the cause, the question soon stops being how or why it happened, but who, if anyone, will survive.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

For her 16th birthday, Vaela Sun receives the most coveted gift in all the Spire - a trip to the Continent. It seems an unlikely destination for a holiday: a cold, desolate land where two nations remain perpetually locked in combat. Most citizens lucky enough to tour the Continent do so to observe the spectacle and violence of battle, a thing long vanished in the peaceful realm of the Spire.

What a tale!
I smiled and cried - was furious and delighted. After listening to The Last Dog on Earth, I didn’t think I would find so unique an experience with the same author, but I was wrong. Mr. Walker is so imaginative and has the writing chops to bring his imagination to life. Ms. O’Donnell is a the perfect narrator for this book. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.

Engaging and thought provoking
I listened to "The Last Dog on Earth" first, and moved on to this book. Both were really great, captivating stories. Emotions, thoughts provoked. Recommend both stories!

ALMOST as good as Last Dog
Almost as good as Last Dog on Earth but that's gonna be hard to beat. I loved the narrator too (but,again,alas, hard to beat Len's cockney accent) but close, really close. Enjoyed the whole book. Touching and thoughtful from the outside of humanity looking in. I rarely give a 4 and almost never a 5, so this is really high marks.

Hopeful and heartfelt
Not your typical dystopian bit of sci-fi. Imagining the future with only one remaining human accompanied by engineered beings who healed the Earth, the story is wonderfully written and narrated as an examination of the uniqueness of humanity’s consciousness, flaws and all.

Nobody’s perfect
Even superior beings created to right humanity’s wrongs fall prey to some of humanity’s strengths and weaknesses. I enjoyed this story and I was surprised by the ending.

Wow, just wow
LISTEN TO THIS BOOK. I don't know about you but as an avid reader it is a often that I read and/or listen to books that I simply cannot put down until they are finished. Even so, It is rare to find a book this special. I didn't want it to end. I cried just for the simple fact that this story was done.
