Waiting on Wednesday

A weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine, this is all about books that I simply cannot wait for!

This week, the book I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of is the third and final book in the Ashfall series, Sunrise by Mike Mullin.

Expected publication: April 15, 2014
From Goodreads: 
The Yellowstone supervolcano nearly wiped out the human race. Now, almost a year after the eruption, the survivors seem determined to finish the job. Communities wage war on each other, gangs of cannibals roam the countryside, and what little government survived the eruption has collapsed completely. The ham radio has gone silent. Sickness, cold, and starvation are the survivors’ constant companions.

When it becomes apparent that their home is no longer safe and adults are not facing the stark realities, Alex and Darla must create a community that can survive the ongoing disaster, an almost impossible task requiring even more guts and more smarts than ever — and unthinkable sacrifice. If they fail . . . they, their loved ones, and the few remaining survivors will perish.

This epic finale has the heart of Ashfall, the action of Ashen Winter, and a depth all its own, examining questions of responsibility and bravery, civilization and society, illuminated by the story of an unshakable love that transcends a post-apocalyptic world and even life itself.
Why I want it: Cause I basically loved the other two books. And I am eagerly waiting until closer to the release date to read Darla’s Story, a novella. I feel like Mike Mullin tells a unique story in his Ashfall series. While some of the usual dystopian elements are present, it is eerily real, as though something similar could easily happen at any moment. I have been intrigued by the journey the characters have taken, and cannot wait to see how the author ends the trilogy!
