In a time of isolation and scarcity, a regressive regime rules with absolute power, turning neighbour against neighbour and crushing dissidence with deadly force. A microcosm of this monstrous time the tiny Pacific Northwest town of Gilder. In a house on the fringes of the decimated hamlet, Taoa failed service dog turned petwakes to find his leash tied to the stairs, his hind leg broken and his family killed. With the world he knows shattered, there is one course of action lay with his slain masters and wait for the enemythe "hounds"to return and end his life. But it is not the hounds that find himit is Kasper, fifteen years old, disabled, limited ability to speak, sole survivor of the family. With the discovery of Boy, Tao understands he now has a duty guide the last living member of his pack through the ravaged streets of Gilder to safety. The destination? The only refuge he can conceive in a world gone mad? The site of his training five years before. Boy in the Blue Hammock is an epic tale of loss and loyalty, of dissent and destruction, of assumption and ableism. With a powerful narrative and evocative prose, the novel poses one of the important questions of our time When evil silences the people, who will protect those without a voice?
