Dead Sea

The world Keene creates feels incredibly visceral and immersive. I'm curious whether this setting was inspired by real events or pure imagination.

The pacing was relentless, but at times I felt some scenes might have benefited from a slower build. Was that intentional to keep the suspense high?

The characters are pushed to their limits, revealing a lot about morality and survival. What do you think the book says about human resilience and morality under stress?
