Firewalkers are brave. Firewalkers are resourceful. Firewalkers are expendable.

The Earth is burning. Nothing can survive at the Anchor, not without water and power. But the ultra-rich, waiting for their ride off the dying Earth? They can buy water. And thanks to their investment, the sun can provide power.

But someone has to repair the solar panels when they fail, down in the deserts below.

Kids like Mao, and Lupé, and Hotep, kids with brains and guts but no hope. The Firewalkers.

In Adrien Tchaikovsky's Firewalkers, a group of teenagers set out to cross vast tracts of overheated equatorial Africa to find out where a sizeable power drain is going. Their employer wants them to find what's illegally using all the power. What they find is almost more interesting than the wealthy evacuating Earth for giant spaceships the poor and disadvantaged have been forced as forced labor to build (that concept doesn't surprise anyone). The book looks at what it means to be human and who deserves to survive.

In my opinion, narrator’s accent did not add to the story and made the storyline difficult to follow. Because of this I returned the book it two chapters in. It’s too bad because Tchaikovsky is one of my favorite SF writers and I love the plot of this book. I’ll just read this one in print.

Narration Didn’t Work for Me.

Loved the story! Couldn't understand what they were saying half the time because she did the accents so well. The French accent in particular was almost impossible to comprehend, but maybe that's just me, I've always hated the way French sounds.

Narrator was too good.

Great Story, great audio performance. Consider this a must listen...hoping for a continuation of this story

Awesome

Struggled a little with the accents at first, but once you get into it they really help bring life to the story and characters and seem as authentic as I can believe they'd be in such a future. The story was good, but ended a little abruptly. Really good world building during the story but didn't really build out the world that is being left at the end.
Overall, would still definitely recommend.

Great performance on a pretty good story

This well thought-out, fast-paced dystopian story is vibrant and heart-breakingly relatable with the most colorful narration you can FEEL. I love these stories that just stick in your head long after they’ve ended.

INCREDIBLE narration!

I must say that I enjoyed this novel more than I expected I would.

I loved this novel

I've read most everything he's written, and that's a lot! I love his creativity and originality and depth of meaning in his writing.
As usual, in this book the listener is plopped, immersed into the world of his imagining with no preamble and no apology.
This is an all too credible story of what if, told from the perspective of three unlikely allies just trying to survive.
It's definitely worth the listen. The performer's grasp of the patois spoken by the characters is beyond incredible.

One of his best!

This was an interesting listen. Very socially relevant as we live in a world where the economically disadvantaged are disproportionately adversely affected by the wealthy’s ravaging of our planet. The narrator elevated the experience to local poignancy by nailing an equatorial African storytelling style that is awkward for the first 20 or 30 minutes but then gels rapidly for a very effective tale. I loved the three main characters and the ending was not disappointing.

Unexpectedly profound

Lovely character development. Unexpected gem. Adjoa Andoh was wonderfully entertaining, but the speech of one of the main characters was so tortured it was nearly unintelligible much of the time. My shoulders tire from all the cringing from listening to that one character. The amount of raw emotion attributed total anguished soul makes sense, but I'm emotionally exhausted from walking that road with her.

Great short listen
