Story
Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

Publisher's Summary
Newly revised version now read by award-winning narrator Sean Runnette!
From birth to death, The War is all the citizens of Dystance know. As children it is drilled into their heads that war is the purpose behind all existence.
Winter doesn't agree. She's stumbled across remnants of life the way it was before The War began, and now she longs to be as free as her ancestors.
With help from her best friend, Cedar, and the boy she is forbidden to love, Tallow, she believes she can do it. Winter can see a life beyond the Pickets, beyond the constant hunger and the threat of death, beyond the war machine.
Can one teenage girl and her dream of a better life really change the whole world?

Unbelievable, melodramatic romance.
While the story is OK, this novel is an unbelievable, melodramatic romance mis-categorized as science fiction. There are many inconsistencies in the story line - Paper, not to mention books, is so rare and scarce in Dystance, yet everyone can read fluently, and Winter can even figure out how to use a dictionary,though she has never seen one. Tallow shoots and kills two Brokers the first time he uses a rifle, missing and only grazing Winter's shoulder though she is in the line of fire. Cedar figures out how to load, and fire an M16, though she has no experience with guns. This story has possibilities, but the inconsistencies and melodrama turn me off, and I will not purchase the 2nd book.

Liked the Book
I liked the story but had a hard time with the narrator as, while he was good, the main character was a girl and it's so hard to listen to something in first person from a girl's perspective in a male's voice. He also sounded grandfatherly which made it worse. I would have preferred either a women narrator or perhaps both male and female for this one. Other than that, I enjoyed the story. It was unique.

Sean Runette is the voice of Mike Talbot not a 16 yr old girl.
Not that he can’t pull it off. The problem is the character is just like Mike Talbot. Extreme angst about the burden of war and leadership. Her sidekick Cedar is only half as funny as Trip, so comic relief was lacking. Maybe I’m burned out on Tufo’s style. It’s very repetitive.

SEAN GIVES THIS A UNIQUE TWIST! SURPRISE ENDING!
Well, I like how Mark rebranded this one...I see what he did...and I think I kinda know where he is gonna go with this one; Well maybe..Mark is unpredictable most times....But I like what I heard! I loved the old version too, this one took me a minute to settle into, because I had listened to the old one 3 times and was in love with the characters already, I could hear them in my head, the old way...lol I am huge Sean Runnette fan, so it just took a bit to get used to this way..and he did a great job, he gave the story a lot of heart, and humor...and he made me believe it all over again...Im really excited that Winter made it this time..and I cant wait to listen to the next one!!!
ANOTHER WINNER MR TUFO!!! I RECOMMEND!!!!

Using male voice for main character (female) poor choice!
Good book but terrible choice for narrator. Not only is this a male voice but an OLDER male voice for a young woman. Whoever made this decision needs to rethink it!

A different but no less brilliant Tufo story
If you're a Tufo fan, this story is very different to his others but no less entertaining or affecting. If you haven't read Tufo before, don't expect all his stories to be like this. What is no different however, is his fabulous storytelling and wonderfully alive characters.
I listened to he original version when it was first released and enjoyed the story. This is definitely a smoother listen and he change to Sean Runnette makes it feel like a "proper" Tufo story.

Sean runnette narrates this tufo story wonderfully. having read the book some time ago and seeing that the sequel is around the corner I decided to refresh my mind and listened to it. the story is excellent and second time round I realised how well it fits into the tufoverse.
definitely recommended
