In streets controlled by vicious and sadistic drug lords, three individuals all seek something. Dai seeks information on the criminal brotherhood which employs him, lest he be imprisoned. Jin Ling seeks her sister in the Walled City's brothels, evading the roaming street-gangs as she goes.

|summary=I've read countless dystopian fiction accounts of a world changed overnight by everything from man eating plants, to nuclear war, plague, or zombies. This is the first to present a complete meltdown of society as the result of economic crises, but this does hold far greater credibility than the average vampire or zombie plague. The main protagonist, Leonardo, is not a hero. He is a very ordinary middle aged man with many flaws. He has no super human strength or abilities of any kind - the only thing that gives him the courage to continue is his love for his estranged daughter, who suddenly reappears in his life, along with a deeply disturbed stepbrother, early in the crisis.

~~|title=More Than This~~

~~|author=Patrick Ness~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Teens~~

~~|summary=''Here is the boy, drowning.''~~

And Seth does drown. He is alone; taken by the sea, arms and legs flailing and breaking, skull dashed against the rocks whilst the icy water constricts his muscles and breath. Seth is consciously aware of his final moments. His death consumes him with a heavy, confusing blur until… he awakens and finds himself in a desolate, shattered world; naked, alone, starving and alive. This place looks familiar. It looks exactly like the English village where he spent his early childhood before his brother’s accident and his family’s move to America, but it is now overgrown and devoid of human life. It is as if the whole place was simply abandoned one day.
