"The Book of Koli is the unforgettable story of a young boy struggling to find his place in a world where nature itself has turned against humanity: Everything that lives hates us... Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, one of the dangerous shunned men will. Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls. He's wrong."--Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent dystopian sci-fi with heart submitted by kkrasity on July 22, 2023, 9:32am This book is a great, underrated example of survivalist climate science fiction with a lovable narrator (although the narration style can be a little difficult to adjust to at first; it reminded me of the speech patterns on the TV series Firefly). The underlying mystery of how the world turned out this way, and how our characters would survive it, kept me coming back until I devoured the entire trilogy in a week.
