A review by vylotte
Rivers by Michael Farris Smith

3.0

A series of hurricanes and non-stop rain have left the south east US devastated and abandoned. A line has been drawn, and anything south of that is now lawless no-man's land.

This is a soggy, chilled read where one man's solitude and hopelessness is reflected in the land around him. His underlying decency first bring him to the edge of ruin, then give him a reason to live. As he finds a suffering group of people that he needs to save, he ultimately saves himself.
