OLDER FICTION
Lyga, Barry

After the Red Rain

(4) YA With Peter Facinelli and Robert DeFranco. On a scavenging run, orphaned teenager Deedra saves an unusual boy named Rose from drowning. Rose soon influences all aspects of Deedra's life, including her factory job and government-bred beliefs, and she grapples with his mutant-like powers and status as a murder suspect. The relationship between the protagonists is unconvincing, but the authors enliven a believable post-apocalyptic dystopia with moments of blockbuster action.
