The Pharmacist: A gripping, must-read speculative thriller debut | Rachelle Atalla
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
THE BUNKER IS DESIGNED TO KEEP THEM ALL SAFE. In the end, very few people made it to the bunker. Now they wait there for the outside world to heal. Wolfe is one of the lucky ones. She's safe and employed as the bunker's pharmacist, doling out medicine under the watchful eye of their increasingly erratic and paranoid leader. BUT IS IT THE PLACE OF GREATEST DANGER? But when the leader starts to ask things of Wolfe, favours she can hardly say no to, it seems her luck is running out. Forming an unlikely alliance with the young Doctor Stirling, her troubled assistant Levitt, and Canavan - a tattooed giant of a man who's purpose in the bunker is a mystery - Wolfe must navigate the powder keg of life underground where one misstep will light the fuse. The walls that keep her safe also have her trapped. How much more is Wolfe willing to give to stay alive? Beautifully written and utterly gripping, The Pharmacist will be a guaranteed conversation starter when it is published.

Very claustrophobic book.

Sarah Wolfe is one of the pharmacists in the bunker. People are sheltering because of radioactive fallout. They live in very close quarters and have limited resources, except for the leaders who live in comparative splendour. Most of the plot unravels slowly, just like the inhabitants' sanity.
