Dek Unu: Another Tomorrow

A very unusual book with some interesting aspects in it. This is a mystery set in a future post-apocalyptic world. A team of archaeologists are exploring a buried city. It is almost 1000 years after the big apocalypse that ended our world. It is a very tightly controlled world with police watching everyone all the time.

The story follows the team and the lives of some young people who are somehow related in a prophecy that will change the world they live in. I liked that Esperanto is the official language of this future world. I liked that the most important political goal for the future government is to prevent war.

Now for the difficulties with this book for me. I had a hard time reading each character's story, one after another. I did not know the reason for each character until the end of the book, so I was not interested in reading each person's story. I did a great deal of skipping ahead to get to the end. Finally at the end it is mostly clear what is happening. But, it was a problem for me that characters are introduced with no explanation of why I should care about them.

I say it is a very interesting book. It ends on a cliff hanger. We need to get the sequel to find out what happens with the characters.
