She also knows that the shelter of a homestead is the real key to staying alive and she would never endanger her place with the group. She’s loyal to her group, strong, and an extremely capable hunter. It’s not that she’s a bad person, but she was never properly socialized when she was younger so she doesn’t know how to empathize nor does she trust anyone but herself. Lynn is a hard woman to like, and also endearing with her tenacity and toughness. The question is, will they trust each other to thrive together as well? The Characters They need to trust each other to survive together. To prove her innocence, and be released from captivity Lynn is forced to take Dani through the wilds of New York City to find the body and bring it home. The settlers all mourn the loss of one of their own and Dani would do anything to help mitigate their pain, including traveling with someone as untrustworthy as a Wilder.
They immediately assume Lynn stole it and killed the previous owner, who happens to be the husband of the settlement leader.
When Lynn stumbles upon Dani’s hunting party, the dog Lynn has taken as her own is recognized. A close knit group, they share responsibility and trust with the hopes that they can do more than simply survive in such a harsh world. The man she buried out of respect, the stray she kept.ĭani Wilson is a hunter and trapper for a thriving settlement. The only things she cares about are herself, and a stray she found next to a dead man. Lynn Tanner is a Wilder and has survived on her own since childhood by living half-starved and sleeping with one eye open. In this broken world there are two kinds of people, Wilders or Settlers. Society, religion, medicine, and tools have devolved into a level of primitiveness not seen in thousands of years. With infrastructure reduced to skeletal remains, flora and fauna have taken New York City and pushed humanity into a brutal era of nomads and hunter/gatherers. Set a few hundred years into the future, cities have become jungles of a different kind. May Dawney does an excellent job of creating the backdrop of this futuristic world, a place that has gone terribly wrong after the last great war. It’s the kind of book that you ingest in large starving gulps, unable to put it down until you push through each and every massive scene. Survival Instincts by May Dawney was a big read.
