Date of Release: December 13th, 2013
Genres: young adult, dystopia, science fiction
Matt, Raine went to California
because her parents thought it was safe. It’s not. You’ve got to get her out as
soon as possible. She could die, Matt.
When 19-year-old Matt Carney gets a cryptic
message from his father telling him to go to California and save his
girlfriend, Raine, he doesn't hesitate—he grabs his AK-47, revs up his blue
pickup, and gets ready to make the 2,300-mile roadtrip.
But cross-country travel in 2021 isn't
easy—or, sometimes, even possible. The U.S. has become a near-military state:
17,000 checkpoints severely restrict interstate movement, Predator drones
target innocent civilians without cause, and explosions rock cities daily. Matt
and his stepbrother, Benjy, face deadly attacks from a corrupt government,
ruthless local law enforcement, and bloodthirsty terrorist groups as they
embark on their trek. They're about to find out that their trip is much more
than a private journey, and their success could change the face of the
country—forever.
Can Matt and Benjy outrun the drone
missiles raining down on their heads? Can they avoid assassination by
government officials hell-bent on taking over what little is left of the
country? Can they outsmart the deadly schemes set in motion against them?
Break the rules.
Save the girl.
He only gets one chance before she's gone
forever.
