Although accepting the inevitable ‘Maunder Minimum,’ the main characters of Surrender the Sun refuse to accept mankind’s imminent demise as inevitable. Though dealing with the depravity many survivors exhibited and excused as survival of the most ruthless, Bishop and Mave fought to survive yet maintain their humanity and compassion for other, often weaker, survivors. Unfortunately,..
I liked this story and will continue reading the series but it does kind of bug me being from the area of the story that the characters absolutely dont talk with the accents the male narrator uses. and the things the author portrays as normalcy of the people there is fictional for the most part…
