The Builders by Daniel Polansky

4.0

I loved this a little. Other readers have made many comparisons before me trying to describe just what this is, but Watership Down meets Reservoir Dogs is what came to mind when I finished it. (Not just when I finished it; I didn't have to get far in to feel it.) The plot is straightforward and the characters are archetypes, but they also transcend that, partly because of the context but partly because they are knowing archetypes and the author plays that up and builds on it. One thing's for sure--it's pretty unforgettable.
