The Warehouse
"In The Warehouse, Bea Oertel creates a world that has fallen under the control of a ruthless regime suppressing freedom and enforcing conformity. Amidst the bleak landscape, where technology and surveillance dominate, a group of rebels emerges, each character deeply developed with rich backstories and complex motivations. Their journey is fraught with danger, as the plot twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat. Oertel crafts a setting so vivid that I can almost feel the cold, oppressive air and hear the hum of drones patrolling the streets. At the heart of the novel is a profound spiritual message, exploring themes of hope, redemption, and the power of faith in the face of overwhelming darkness. The characters' internal struggles mirror their external battles, making the story not only a thrilling read but also a moving exploration of the human spirit. I recommend this novel to any young or young-at-heart reader who enjoys adventure, sci-fi and fantasy. I will order The Warehouse to read with my high school class.” S. Ocello, teacher
