Blog Tour – Trackers
About a year ago I wrote a blog post entitled: When I grow up, I want to be…Kathryn Mackel. This was in response to reading Kathryn’s book Outriders, first in a series known as The Birthright Project. This week I’m happy to talk about the second book in the series, Trackers. I understand that this was originally projected to be a trilogy but that the third book has been cancelled. I’m really sorry to hear that. Not as sorry as Kathryn Mackel, I’m sure.
Trackers is here, sitting on my desk. I’ve read about a third of it so far and I’m enjoying it immensely.
From the back cover:
Far from home in a ravaged world, the Birthrighters struggle for survival.
Raised in a new ark beneath polar ice, delivered by whales to a blighted surface, the young men and women of the Birthright Project have pledged their lives to a risky and redemptive mission–perserving God’s original creation from the ravages of the Endless Wars and human depravity.
They’ve roamed the earth tracking original species. They’ve succesfully battled sorcerers, warlords, and armies of mutants. But now a twisted new enemy is on the march. An explosive old secret lurks beneath the glitter of a decadent city. And the mysterious darkness that swallowed a mountain spreads toward an innocent mill town.
Before they can prevail, the Birthrighters must confront their most difficult challenge: overcoming their individual desires that threaten to betray the group.
