Amazon Customer said Brilliantly dun.. Holy smokes, I mean smoked, when something EFFECTS you, it FX you, and if you've read the book, then you know what I mean! 5 Million stars, squared. Brilliantly dun.. Dymaxicon said Apocalyptic Fiction for the Thinkers. If you like The Walking Dead, this is a book you should read. Think drought instead of zombies.The book unfolds in a world where water has vanished, and the author has created a scenario that is believable and totally frightening. The main character, Blue, is a more soulful and compelling and ethically compromised leader than the Walking Dead's Rick. This is a higher level of apocalypse fiction than you are used to. Read it and think.. laka said depth, wit, and hardcore honestya fascinating read!!!. just started this book and already captivated by the characters depth ,wit, and hard-core honesty abound. already i see my soul and my secrets in the diary of blue!

On the coast the economy crumbles as the Great Desert grows and millions of refugees stream west towards the vast megalopolis by the sea.. When incessant sandstorms overwhelm the desert city the central government cuts off the water supply, forcing Mark to fly west to join his son as the army evacuates the remaining inhabitants and Lucky ends up in a Resettlement Camp. Meanwhile Blue and her tribe stay behind, hidden in their tunnel home under the sand-filled streets. UNDER THE LIGHT OF 500 SUNS features three characters forced to deal with the onset of severe drought in their desert city: Blue, the lovely young leader of a tribe of homeless teenagers; Lucky, an aging streetwise drunk; and Mark, a retired veteran left bereft by the death of his wife
