Melissa Welliver’s dystopian novel opens with a public execution followed by an explosion, and by the end of chapter two has turned everything the central character thought she knew about herself on its head. Books don’t come much faster paced than that.

Sadie, the protagonist, is horrified to discover she’s one of the ‘Undying’, people who can live forever. In this post-apocalypse autocratic society they are persecuted, singled out by the authorities for cruel treatment, very different to the privileged life she’s been living as the daughter of one of the state’s enforcers.

Someone is fighting back – hence the bomb – and Sadie must decide where her loyalties lie, especially after she agrees to be a spy for the authorities in return for a life-saving operation for her father.

The fast pace continues to the end but always allows time and space for character development and for readers to consider the issues raised.
