The residents of Impervious are the remnant—the survivors of the War of Annihilation. And though the city is chockfull of pleasures to tantalize and entertain, a beast lurks in the corners, haunting the residents with its presence.
The Beast—a mysterious and terminal illness killed off most of Generations One, Two, and Three. And as Gen-Four prepares to take the stage, a provocative, yet questionable, new method to avoid an untimely death incites a cultural rage.
But Fran lives counter-culture, off the grid in true rebel fashion. With a life far from opulent, she scurries through dark tunnels, searching for hot meals with Pete while ditching the holographic security team. To her, it’s a healthy trade-off. Unaccountability means The Council can’t steal her sliver of hope―a belief that she’ll see The Epoch arrive before The Beast can pull her into its fetid embrace.
After losing her mother and then her Rebel mentor, Fran stumbles upon a miraculous discovery that may save the residents of Impervious. That is, if she can outrun The Beast… (Goodreads)
It was a treat to get to read this, especially after meeting Heather while she was in my out of the way neck of the woods :) She's an awesome lady and her writing reflects that! I'll admit that I don't read much Christian fiction, as it's not my cup 'o tea, but that's the really nice this about Impervious--it's not overbearing, nor is it necessary to view it through that lens. I really appreciated that. And the story itself is interesting. And underground world? Global nuclear annihilation? A maniacal ruler bent on keeping everyone from the truth? It was a lot of twists and turns and fun times! Fran's character was feisty and strong and I appreciated that. Overall, I'm looking forward to the next one!
