"A Canticle for Leibowitz, Haw, and Dustlands are well worth reading, tremendously more interesting and intense than Hunger Games and Divergent. Haw is the more thoughtful of the two newer novels, providing a glimpse of a future in which Lucas wonders “What good does it do to have a bottle of wine and a good meal…when someone is soon to slit your throat.” A well-written debut novel with excellent world-building and harrowing images of our future, Haw will haunt the reader." - Suanne Schafer, Empty Sink Publishing
