Hundreds of square miles deemed uninhabitable. Alice has heard the rumors of the people who stayed, their proximity to Nuclear One, their cancerous lumps. Her friend Carmen is driven to see the fracking pad where his father was killed – and Michael, unfortunately, is the only one that can get them there.

Into the Fracking Fields is a dystopian novel set in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which encompasses northeastern Arkansas, southwestern Kentucky, southeastern Missouri, and northwestern Tennessee. A series of earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 were so powerful that the Mississippi River temporarily flowed backwards and were felt on the East Coast.

Gripping weekend read

I enjoyed the book over this stormy weekend here in FL. The author navigates a heavy topic while being able to highlight the characters that have you rooting for them. The modern references for this dystopian tale is well done and enjoyed how the author tied them in.

Thought-Provoking Dystopian Fiction

Simon crafts a haunting portrait of a post-disaster America, using vivid prose to immerse readers in this ruined landscape. The characters live in the shadows of nuclear catastrophe, struggling to find purpose amid the collapse. Though some descriptions feel overly flowery, the dystopian themes and the kids' harrowing journey throughout will stick with you. Fans of speculative fiction examining society's fragility will find this a compelling read.

A solid dystopian tale

I was intrigued by the name and premise immediately, and read the book to find ... a totally competent, enjoyable book hampered by pacing issues and times when the writing was too flowery for its own good. I may sound more negative than I mean to, which is unintentional, as I did enjoy the book-- but too many tiny issues prevented this rom being a 5 star for me.
