Radio Life: a gripping adventure and a riveting political thriller: The
Commonwealth, a post-apocalyptic civilisation on the rise, is locked in a
clash of ideas with the Keepers . . . a fight which threatens to destroy the
world . . . again.
When Lilly was first Chief Engineer at The Commonwealth, nearly fifty years
ago, the Central Archive wasn't yet the greatest repository of knowledge in
the known world, protected by scribes copying every piece of found material -
books, maps, even scraps of paper - and disseminating them by Archive Runners
to hidden off-site locations for safe keeping. Back then, there was no Order
of Silence to create and maintain secret routes deep into the sand-covered
towers of the Old World or into the northern forests beyond Sea Glass Lake.
Back then, the world was still quiet, because Lilly hadn't yet found the
Harrington Box.
But times change. Recently, the Keepers have started gathering to the east of
Yellow Ridge - thousands upon thousands of them - and every one of them
determined to burn the Central Archives to the ground, no matter the cost,
possessed by an irrational fear that bringing back the ancient knowledge will
destroy the world all over again. To prevent that, they will do anything.
Fourteen days ago the Keepers chased sixteen-year-old Archive Runner Elimisha
into a forbidden Old World Tower and brought the entire thing down on her.
Instead of being killed, though, she slipped into an ancient unmapped bomb
shelter where she has discovered a cache of food and fresh water, a two-way
radio like the one Lilly's been working on for years . . . and something else.
Something that calls itself 'the internet' . . .
