"An island nation decides to barricade itself from the invading hordes after some kind of climate collapse and needs to rely on its citizens to defend “The Wall” it has built. Our protagonist is one such Defender, and it’s all going well until it’s not. This is not a fun read but a thought-provoking story for our times that’s also compulsively readable."
