I kind of had my doubts from the beginning, but I was willing to give it a try. I will forever see a little gold robot with a serious god complex. Sorry, but the name is just ruined for me now. I couldn’t take Crow seriously because of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
And she wasn’t, not surprisingly, in the story all that much. Zee was about the only character I kind of liked, but that was mostly out of desperation for someone to attach to. But like with Banyan, I just didn’t care. She didn’t wholly have The Attitude, and she could have. Alpha, the “pirate gal,” could have, I will admit, been so much worse. Sal was just a creepy little slime-ball I was looking forward to the moment when something bad happened to him. For the record, I didn’t just hate Banyan, but I sure as heck didn’t care about him, either. Unsurprisingly, he had no real personality. He reeked of guy cologne (y’know - the type that guys swear attract girls, but in reality repel them the type that sisters scream at their brothers for spraying about in the bathroom), Cheetos, and sweaty socks. As they race toward a promised land that might only be a myth, Banyan makes shocking discoveries about his family, his past, and how far people will go to bring back the trees.Ĭharacters: Banyan, our protagonist, is such a guy. Unsure who to trust, he's forced to make an uneasy alliance with Alpha, an alluring, dangerous pirate with an agenda of her own. But Banyan isn't the only one looking for the trees, and he's running out of time.
Those who make it past the pirates and poachers can't escape the locusts - the locusts that now feed on human flesh. Everything changes when Banyan meets a woman with a strange tattoo - a clue to the whereabouts of the last living trees on earth - and he sets off across a wasteland from which few return.
But that was before his father was taken. Although Banyan's never seen a real tree - they were destroyed more than a century ago - his father used to tell him stories about the old world. Using scrap metal and salvaged junk, he creates forests for rich patrons who seek a reprieve from the desolate landscape. Seventeen-year-old Banyan is a tree builder.
