The popularity of post-apocalyptic science fiction is on the rise, but unfortunately the quality of such works often leaves something to desire. With some notable exceptions of course and Chuck Gossart's book is one of those examples. The author combines classic sci-fi elements with an apocalyptic dystopia to provide two unique narratives that introduce the reader to the book's reality.
While the world-building could be more elaborate, the twists of the plot remain entertaining and the development of the character's being exposed to unfathomable psychological shocks will get you invested in their fate throughout the book. The Phoenix Descent may not be a true masterpiece that will withstand time but in its own genre it's unique, compelling and definitely worth reading.
