Newly revised version now read by award-winning narrator Sean Runnette!

From birth to death, The War is all the citizens of Dystance know. As children it is drilled into their heads that war is the purpose behind all existence.

Winter doesn't agree. She's stumbled across remnants of life the way it was before The War began, and now she longs to be as free as her ancestors.

With help from her best friend, Cedar, and the boy she is forbidden to love, Tallow, she believes she can do it. Winter can see a life beyond the Pickets, beyond the constant hunger and the threat of death, beyond the war machine.

Can one teenage girl and her dream of a better life really change the whole world?

Good book but terrible choice for narrator. Not only is this a male voice but an OLDER male voice for a young woman. Whoever made this decision needs to rethink it!

Using male voice for main character (female) poor choice!

I just loved this book and can't wait for the next one! Narrator was awesome, of course, and I have not read anything by Mark Tufo that I haven't liked. Zombies are still my favorite, but this is well worth the read/listen and highly recommended!

So Good!

Narrator is kind of boring. Tries to voice different characters and they blend together. Then you have to rewind to make sure you know who was talking. Story was good.

Good story....

even without Michael, this is an amazing story. a bit different from Marks usual story but I thoroughly enjoyed this. If your a Tufo fan you've got to read this as well as the following books.

another great story

The world as we know it is gone. The world that came after the world that we know is gone also. All there is now is orchestrated wars between klans. Why? No one really knows, it's just the way it it's. Dytance and her discovery has given her a peek into the world the way it use to be and a yearning for the freedom she before never knew existed.

How far in the Dystance.....

I was so hesitant to read this because it wasn’t a Michael Talbot story. So one day I dove in; best decision I’ve made all year. I love the dystopian feel. I love the nostalgic feel when you hear the name Talbot. There is so much mystery and a million questions and Mark Tufo keeps you hanging on every word and every page. I’m so excited to start the next book; and hopefully not the last.

Winter is my new Disney princess hero

I love Mark Tufo's books and always look forward to the next release of which ever book he has just finished. I was very disappointed when I started this story, I have already listened to this book, but with a woman telling it. I have been waiting for the next installation, and was even excited because it has Sean Runnette reading it, but sadly it was the same book with a different reader. :'(

Same book

Good story and, as always by Runnette, good narration. More of a young adult novel but enjoyable all the same.

A new Talbots dynasty
