While We Run is a science fiction story set in Australia in the
year 2127. The world is at a crisis—it’s close to depleting all of its natural
resources, and Abdi and Teegan are the spokespersons for an opportunity for people
to enter a cryonic state and take a spaceship to a habitable planet. They are
not willing spokespersons, in fact, they are tortured and held captive until the
first third of the book is over, when they escape and join a rebel group to—and
at this point I’m not sure. That’s where I stopped. I might read the first book because of the interesting premise, but when it takes me this long to read a book, I know something's up. I like a book that I can't put down and the next book might be like that.
