Join Susan Beth Pfeffer has she imagines a world of struggle and hardship. With the publication of This World We Live In, Ms. Pfeffer concludes her sci-fi trilogy- The Last Survivors. Starting with the thoughtful, Life As We Knew It and continuing with The Dead and the Gone, the author tells the story of a cataclysmic event. A meter has hit the moon and shifted it to move closer to the Earth. As a result, tidal waves, volcanoes, and earthquakes have caused widespread devastation on Earth. Food rationing, gas shortages, famine and disease are commonplace. Readers will be drawn to the struggles of 16 year old Miranda Evans and 17 year Alex Morales. To stay alive each person must became someone they never would have imagined. How much longer can they hold out? What will the next day bring? What is the definition of family? Will the sun ever shine again? Will scientists be able to correct the Moon's orbit? The plot line in each of the three novels is fast paced. The characters are well-conceived. Of the three books, the last one seems the weakest however, once you start this series, it is impossible to stop without knowing how it will all turn out.
