Golden Dreg Army – Book 1: Enlisted by D.K. Dailey

Creating a twisted mirror of the wealth inequality that plagues our modern world, Golden Dreg Army Book 1: Enlisted by D.K. Dailey is a thrilling YA adventure, and a worrisome prophecy for the future. Following a world quake, humanity’s dream is to create a society that can withstand anything, but that idealistic vision doesn’t take long to corrode into a vast chasm between the Goldens and the Dregs – the rich and the poor. Peppered with creative details that make this dystopic future feel three-dimensional and all too possible, the story is gripping from the start. The writing is strong, though sometimes too young for the audience, while the dynamic loyalties of the protagonists make it a challenge to stop reading.
