In this book people who glimpse can predict earthquakes, they have visions a few minutes before it hits, just enough time to give a warning and get to a safer place. There’s plenty in this story from a resilient group of people who live in the D-zone; to a mysterious cult called PANN, people for a New Nation predicting the rise of a new nation on the seventh anniversary of the big one; an evil corporation called GlimpseCorp that exploits glimpsers for Tv ratings, local crime gangs, and more.
It was a compelling read particularly in the latter chapters as the anniversary arrives.

Glimpse by Jane Higgins is a dystopian adventure set in a earthquake ravaged land with people being left to fend for themselves and survive the best they can. Centred around a group of teenagers, the story leads us through many conflicts and power struggles, but also focuses on the importance of loyalty and friendship.

Well developed story line that moved rapidly with interesting characters that keep the reader involved and hoping for positive outcomes.

An interesting young adult sci-fiction story that gives insight into surviving earthquakes and the after tremors as well as dealing with forces trying to dominate others.

Fantastic adventure thriller sent in a dystopian urban environment. A cult, dangerous earthquakes and a divided nation. It packs a punch with racy adventure and commentary on society and how humans treat each other. A great read. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy.
