For Gene and the remaining humans, or hepers, death is just a heartbeat away. On the run and hunted by society, they must find a way to survive in The Vast, and avoid the hungry predators. When they discover a refuge of exiled humans living high in the mountains, Gene and his friends think they're finally safe. But they're wrong.

It feels unfair to review a book I just couldn't finish. But the writing style was just ... I'm not sure, naïve? it felt like reading a teenager's homework. The use of similes was so over powering after a while it was all I could see, everything was 'like' something else. Finally unable to cope, I bailed. Back to the charity shop my copy goes.
