The Inexplicables

By Cherie Priest
The Inexplicables by Cherie Priest digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Rector "Wreck ‘em" Sherman was orphaned as a toddler in the Blight of 1863, but that was years ago. Wreck has grown up, and on his eighteenth birthday, he'll be cast out out of the orphanage.

And Wreck's problems aren't merelyabout finding a home. He's been quietly breaking the cardinal rule of any good drug dealer and dipping into his own supply of the sap he sells. He's also pretty sure he's being haunted by the ghost of a kid he used to know—Zeke Wilkes, who almost certainly died six months ago. Zeke would have every reason to pester Wreck, since Wreck got him inside the walled city of Seattle in the first place, and that was probably what killed him.Maybe it's only a guilty conscience, but Wreck can't take it anymore, so he sneaks over the wall.

The walled-off wasteland of Seattle is every bit as bad as he'd heard, chock-full of the hungry undead and utterly choked by the poisonous, inescapable yellow gas. And then there's the monster. Rector's pretty certain that whatever attacked him was not at all human—and not a rotter, either. Arms far too long. Posture all strange. Eyes all wild and faintly glowing gold and known to the locals as simpley "The Inexplicables."

In the process of tracking down these creatures, Rector comes across another incursion through the wall—just as bizarre but entirely attributable to human greed. It seems some outsiders have decided there's gold to be found in the city and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get a piece of the pie unless Rector and his posse have anything to do with it.

“I was so happy to return to Seattle in this fourth book. I loved all of the characters that were first introduced in the series, and even though they only had small parts while the three youngest boys were in the spotlight, it was great to see them again. And as if rotters weren’t enough, now the citizens are dealing with an inexplicable...which turns out to be a Sasquatch. Which, oddly, was not even slightly ridiculous, as you might be inclined to think at first. LOVED the brief match-up between Cly and the Squatch. Cly is honestly one of my most favourite characters. While I do really enjoy the ongoing storyline, and how the characters intertwine within it, I’m a bit sad when the storyline doesn’t focus on what’s happening within Seattle, and it’s underground inhabitants. I honestly think that’s probably the only thing holding me back from giving each book a five star rating. While I realize that moving away from Seattle and focusing on different characters is integral to the overall storyline, I can’t help that I became so enamoured of the original cast from book one. The next (and last) book takes us back out of Seattle again, and I’m not entirely sure I’m ready for that. But I suppose I have to be.”
