I NEVER ASKED TO BE THE SOLE BEARER OF THE ENTIRE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR CIVILIZATION. Yet, here I am, barely sixteen-years-old, and it has fallen upon my shoulders to save what remains of humanity from a second Dark Ages. Your civilization is gone now, lost six hundred years ago in cataclysmic wars brought on by climate change. Your virtual information vanished along with electricity. Only your ancient printed books remain, and they have been scanned into a memory device hanging around my neck, to which only I have access. For Knowledge is power, and the dreaded Wraith Lord knows this. He would keep the Knowledge for himself. He would hunt me down and force me to give it up, submitting humanity to infinite darkness and servitude. Knowledge must belong to all, or to none. I must find a way to spread Knowledge back to the world, or die trying.

Beautifully written. I was carried away by the times and the characters, who made me believe all of what happens in this story is possible. The Knowledge Seeker is set in the future, six hundred years after civilization has fallen. All that was there was lost and only one leader seems to have access to this wealth of information. He entrusts an ancient memory device, containing that information to Eodain, a 16 year old boy, also known as Termite. His task is to take it to a specific location where it can be disseminated to the world. But along the way, all is not what it appears to be. There are others who have a different motive in mind. To say that Termite's life is in danger is an understatement.
This is a thrilling YA novel that will be cherished I'm sure for years.
