In a dystopian future, the world had suffered from devastating floods from the melting ice caps, all of humanity is forced into a survival mode. Nailer is among one of the many people struggling to survive. He is a fifteen year old boy who works in a small industry as that scavenges material from washed up ships. Nailer is a light crewman who searches for supplies on abandoned ships. He dreams of becoming big enough to join the heavy crewmen who are responsible for tearing the ships apart. Nailer along with his best friend Pima encounter a brutal storm. After the storm blew by, they found a privately owned clipper that had been washed up to shore, all of her crewmen had died except for a teenage girl named Nita. Nita is the daughter of one of the most powerful shipping companies in the world. Nita had fled from her father's enemies. Nailer along with his friend decide to take Nita to find one of her father's ship. Nailer's father is one of the company's enemies, he captures Nita. Nailer is forced to save her.
The story is well done and I like it. I can relate this book to Catching Fire. Like Katniss Everdeen, Nailer's decisions that were made had their own devastating effects upon him and his life. Nailer's most important decision was to saved Nita, he had changed his fate permanently.
