      In a dystopian world, there is no equity among the races/species, and Deep Salt is the place that all fear. Two young people are found to have the gift of interspecies, telepathic communication and strike out to create a better world for themselves, their families and their species.    This story follows the paths of Hari and Pearl, two young ‘people’ in a dystopian world where the haves not only rule the have-nots, but use them as slaves at will. As with so many dystopian fantasties and works of science fiction, the author presents the ills of today’s society through their fantastical world of fiction. Well written, the narrative pulls the reader through the book in a true page turner. Readers will be anxious for the next installment of the trilogy to see whether Hari and Pearl’s actions have any long-term consequences.                        Lyn Fisher
