Enclave

Enclave
Thomas Locke
Revell

It's been 50 years since the Great Crash and what was once America is now a collection of enclaves, governed on the local level and only loosely tied together by the farce of a federal government. Catawba, one of the largest and most affluent enclaves in the southern states, is relatively stable and maintains a successful business of trade with nearby enclaves, including the one at Charlotte Township. But when a new vein of gold is found beneath the feet of those in Catawba, it's only a matter of time before trouble finds them.

Now the future of Catawba may be in the hands of an untried 21-year-old trader named Caleb. And Caleb knows that if his secret were ever to come out, he would never see another dawn.

     I think a lot of people will enjoy this book, because it's a post-apocalyptic type of novel, but also with a sort of X-men element that will garner interest from people like...well, like me. The thing is, even with this premise, this book was very difficult for me to get into. The beginning was confusing because of all the characters, and ultimately I ended up giving up because even though it's a short book, wading through it was just such work for me and I wasn't really enjoying it. I thought about pressing through, but I have felt the same way about the few other Thomas Locke books I've read (except under the author's actual name, Davis Bunn) so I have a feeling his writing style just isn't for me. That doesn't mean others won't like the book, though, so if you're a Thomas Locke or Davis Bunn fan, you may want to try it.

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
