PDF Ebook The Surface's End, by David Joel Stevenson
Near the edge of Jonah Whitfield's small farming village lies the Deathlands – a strange desert in the middle of a lush, green landscape. It is strictly forbidden. Jonah often lingers at the border of the Deathlands out of curiosity, hunting wild game where no one else feels safe. When he follows a wounded deer into the desolate expanse, he stumbles upon a hatch to a futuristic underground society. After setting eyes on a beautiful girl whose only wish is to see the surface, Jonah is determined to free her from a prison made of comfort and lies. Will he rescue her, or will he find himself trapped mere miles away from the life he has taken for granted?

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A worthy addition to the young adult dystopia genre. By Marian Thorpe Jonah, a young man in late adolescence, is responsible for providing his family with game, the major source of meat in their post-apocalyptic world. He's found good hunting grounds at the edge of the dead zone, the desert known as the Deathlands, but even there the game is growing thin.A wounded buck, fleeing the pain of Jonah's arrow, leaves the shelter of the woods to run into the desert; Jonah, who cannot waste the kill, follows. Near where the buck finally falls, he finds a metal wheel...a wheel which is opens a door into another world – not a magical world: this is no rabbit-hole - but an underground city, peopled with the descendants of those who fled a ravaged Earth many generations earlier.This is the premise of The Surface's End, a young-adult dystopic science-fiction novel by David Joel Stevenson. I finished the book over two days: it's short, at about 139 pages on my Kindle app, but it was also compulsively readable. Both the homesteading world of Jonah and his family and their fellow villagers, and the mole-rat like existence of the underground inhabitants were internally consistent and plausible, although both were slightly too one-dimensional, with no hint of strife or disagreement within the homesteaders and no positive aspects to the underground world.SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT!Having the 'wildlands' adolescent discover the 'city', rather than the other way around, was a nice twist on the young-adult dystopic meme. The inevitable romance between Jonah and Talitha, the girl from underground, is handled sweetly, Jonah's uncertainty and awkwardness particularly.For the most part Stevenson's writing flows smoothly (and occasionally brilliantly, as in the line, referring to the Deathlands: 'He took his first step into the undiscovered lands.', an echo of Hamlet describing death as 'the undiscovered country.'). A minor niggle was that I found the tone and pacing of the narrative did not always reflect the tension and action of the story.My only other niggle with the story was the scene in which Jonah and Talitha watch a digital feed of the deathbed confession of one of the original founders of the underground city. While it is important, a turning point in the story, the confession goes on too long, unbroken by the reactions and emotions of the two young people watching it.All in all, though, I'm giving The Surface's End four stars. It's a worthy addition to the young adult dystopia genre (personally, I think it would make a good film), and it has enough originality to make it stand out from the crowd.The author provided me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions here are mine alone.Review by Amazon Author Marian Thorpe: Empire's Daughter (Empire's Legacy Book 1)

Loved it so much I couldn't put it down so I finished it last night. Excellent read which left me wanting more. Hope you've got a sequel and a series in mind DJS.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. On the edge of your seat start to finish... By Matt K This is the kind of book that has you hoping the writer is just a writer spinning a tale, and not a prophet! Thought provoking and a satire in the best sense taking the reader on a journey to a whole new world that is a little too familiar! Failure to study history leads to being doomed to repeat it. Failure to envision the worst possible scenarios of the future leads to blindly creating those scenarios out of ignorance. The brave boldly look around corners to dare to dream of ways to create a brighter future for mankind. That is this book. All the while, this book offers entertainment in a world of your mind, taking you to a strange new place that is a little too familiar and yet creatively bizarre. It would be all too fantastic if it weren't so sick! Get ready to entertain your brain, stretch your thoughts, and enjoy an escape into the big "what if" of tomorrow!
