Can't Wait Wednesday: Enclave by Thomas Locke

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring Enclave by Thomas Locke releasing November 20, 2018.

About the Book
It's been 50 years since the Great Crash and what was once America is now a collection of enclaves, governed on the local level and only loosely tied together by the farce of a federal government. Catawba, one of the largest and most affluent enclaves in the southern states, is relatively stable and maintains a successful business of trade with nearby enclaves, including the one at Charlotte Township. But when a new vein of gold is found beneath the feet of those in Catawba, it's only a matter of time before trouble finds them.

Now the future of Catawba may be in the hands of an untried 21-year-old trader named Caleb. And Caleb knows that if his secret were ever to come out, he would never see another dawn.

Why I Need It
I love dystopias so I'm always on the lookout for new ones. This one sounds like an interesting one. I'm super curious about what the Great Crash was and what life is like this "new America".

What upcoming release are you excited about?

  4. I have always been fascinated with the thought of our world suddenly completely changing... the possibilities of that are endless. This sounds really interesting. Another title to add to the TBR pile.

  5. This sounds really interesting! Sometimes I imagine how I would fare in situations like this--probably not very well, sadly.
