On April 18, 2112 the sun exploded in a Class X solar storm the likes of which humankind had never seen.

They had nineteen minutes.

Nineteen minutes until the geomagnetic wave washed over the Earth, frying every electrical device created by humans, blacking out entire continents, every satellite in their sky.

Nineteen minutes to say goodbye to the world they knew, forever, and to prepare for a new Earth, a new Sun.

Generations after solar storms have destroyed nearly all human technology on Earth and humans have reverted to a middle ages like existence, all knowledge of the remaining technology is kept hidden by a privileged few called the Reticents and books are burned as heresy. Alana, a disfigured slave girl, and Recks, a traveling minstrel and sometimes-thief, join forces to bring knowledge and books back to the human race. But when Alana is chosen against her will to be the Vessel, the living repository for all human knowledge, she must find the strength to be what the world needs.

Re: Vessel

I don't have a particular theme. I read many genres and am drawn in by the blurb and first page of the story. I read according to my mood each morning.

Reading about characters overcoming struggles in interesting, especially if they get a wonderful resolution.

Interesting characters draw me into a book and even the book covers. I mostly read mysteries so the suspense draws me in.

Knowledge and kindness are shown to combine in this book , once you read it you are reminded that the best things in life are reflected here. Sylvia Reddom
