After Frenchie is separated from his brother and succumbing to sickness he is rescued by a group of fellow travelers. Flooding, rain, mold, and rot are constant companions. Picture an existence where you are running for your life from evil gym teachers (the Recruiters literally wear short shorts, gym tops, sneakers, and blow horrendous whistles, like if Ted Lasso was possessed).Īs if that weren’t enough of a bleak landscape, the world has also fallen prey to changing ecosystems. ![]() Native Americans are being hunted and murdered for their bone marrow, a cure that has become as terrifying as the problem itself. Alone in this terrifying world where only Native Americans can dream, sparing them from the insanity the rest of humanity is falling prey to. He and his brother have been on the run since their parents disappeared. ![]() Set in a world not too far in our future we meet Frenchie as he is escaping Recruiters. From the first nostalgic and tangible whiff of nacho Doritos that Frenchie shares with his brother to the last hopeful lines that set up the sequel, The Marrow Thieves becomes a shining example of what dystopian literature can be. ![]()
