Mini-review: A compelling mystery, realistically told, drives this story. The world has become small again, and this is reflected in the story-telling style: very narrative, with lots of background brought in through personal stories. If you don't care for this style, you might find it a bit slow. however, I thought it a great complement to the philosophy of the post-apocalyptic world Roy lived in: smaller, simpler, and more focused on individuals. Definitely worth reading.
