Summary

Given hope in the form of a purple-hued crocus, Ben Tildon emerges from the safe haven of the underground colony meant to preserve his life from the harsh effects of a mini-ice age after 11 years. But what he doesn't know about the surface might kill him anyway.

Eleven years on...

A great continuation of A R Shaws earlier trio of books about an iceage.
Taken from a slightly different angle, the young boy from the orginal story is now coming of age and is struggling to find himself in a world of bizarre imprisonment underground. The fact that his imprisonment was needed for survival, we do find out some humans did, in fact, survive on the surface. The ice age seems to be releasing its grip at last, and Ben decides to go on a journey to where he grew up. Thought provoking.

Great story, but disliked narrator

I loved the first 3 books in this series and was excited to start this one. Unfortunately, I really struggled with the narrator and couldn't finish. Luckily, I found another series by this author that is narrated by Kevin Pierce. I'm sure that one will be great.

Could not finish.

As a huge fan of A. R. Shaw, I'm sorry I couldn't finish this. Primary reason - the narration. While it's probably not fair to have such a poor narrator follow the other three books beautifully read and dramatized by Kevin Pierce, Jordan Gibbs was way out of his league. He is far better suited to read teenage and children's books. He has no emotional or performance range and I was embarrassed for him. It was like listening to an elementary teacher read to the class. I can't finish the book. Sure hate that since I've listened to all this author's work. Kevin Pierce is a big reason I even buy an Armageddon book.

Great Story, poor narration

Enjoyed the story but the narration was infantile so I half listened through the story and would listen to the book again but I don’t think I could handle one more round of being read too as if I was ten years old.

Worthy!

I really enjoyed this story in the STS saga. there are lots of nuances regarding not only survival but the history of mankind wrapped in sequences. Very, very good!
