Firewalkers Are Brave. Firewalkers Are Resourceful. Firewalkers Are Expendable.
The Earth is burning. Nothing can survive at the Anchor; not without water and power. But the ultra-rich, waiting for their ride off the dying Earth? They can buy water. And thanks to their investment, the sun can provide power.
But someone has to repair the solar panels when they fail, down in the deserts below.
Kids like Mao, and Lupé, and Hotep; kids with brains and guts but no hope.
The Firewalkers.

The Firewalkers.
The world is burnt and some people just have to keep living there instead of making it to the great escape ships.
Fast and smart with some wicked turns.
Excellent storytelling. Triptych of horrors. Horrific, hopeful, & frightening in equal parts, with dashes of dark humor.
This was my first Tchaikovsky book; if they're all as inventive and beautiful as this then I can understand the hype.
