The Facility by Eliza Green

Eliza Green’s gripping book “The Facility” explores the perils of research and its unintended repercussions. In the dystopian future depicted in the book, women are few because a virus has rendered them sterile. Those who can reproduce are brought to a hidden location where they are coerced into becoming breeders.

Uncertain whether it was justified or not, there has been rebellion, and dissident forces are still at large. In fact, they are very active and provide a significant threat to what is regarded as law and order. A holocaust has left behind a radiation-blasted out world of broken, destroyed townships where marauders roam—though they are not always associated with the rebellious forces—creating orphans by brutally killing parents.

The book’s characters are vividly imagined and well-drawn. The protagonist, Zoey, is a strong, resolute woman who is easy to support. She is not frightened to struggle for her independence and stand up to her captors. The facility personnel and the other breeders’ characters are likewise well-developed and give the plot more dimension.
