The narrator is endearing if a bit misguided. That's understandable when you've lost everything important to you, and it's the end of the world as we know it. I started reading the book, and I got halfway through it, before I realized that I was still waiting for it to get better. I stopped at that point. The story is well told, but not for me. I like a little more action in my stories. I think anyone who enjoys sci fi will enjoy this book.

What is “Seed”? Seed is an alien cosmic warrior. Seed destroys most of the planet and humans, but there are still small groups of humans that somehow have survived. Sal is one human who lives in what was a military camp. There is one human warrior named Sal who follows his adopted father and brother. One doesn’t o outside the walls by themselves due toe dangerous Seed. If Seed is killed, it has the ability to come back to life and heal. Sal is an angry, young warrior who goes his own way even when it’s opposite of orders given. He owes out alone and survives bringing back useful things and/or food. Other human warriors follows Sal’s example. People from the camp will ask individual warriors to go and get different items for them. Sal is asked to find someone’s daughter who is special. The mother less than say what is special about her daughter. When Sal finds her, he discovers what is special about her. What is special about her?

This is a dystopian novel. It fascinated me to watch Sal as he goes on his different adventures and survives. I gather that this is the first book of a series due to the way it ends. I hope I become aware of it when it comes out as I will want to read it!

Very entertaining book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ending was unexpected, which is always a pleasant surprise. I look forward to David's next novel.
