Thalli thought escaping to the surface would mean freedom. But
is she any less of an anomaly aboveground?
After escaping an underground annihilation chamber, Thalli,
Berk, Rhen, and John find themselves fleeing across the former
United States, aboveground for the first time. As the defectors
cross the for gotten landscape, the three youths see things the y
had only read about on screens: horses, rain, real books--and a
colony of unsanctioned survivors living the ancient way in a town
called New Hope.
When the citizens of New Hope reveal the truth of what happened
years ago, Thalli is left unsettled and skeptical of everything
she's ever been told. Can she trust anything from the State,
including her own feelings for Berk? When she volunteers for a
peace mission to New Hope's violent neighbor, Athens, her confusion
mounts as the supposedly ruthless Prince Ale x turns out to be kind
and charming. Although everyone in New Hope warned her not to, she
can't help but fall for him.
Meanwhile, John's unwavering faith in the goodness of the
Designer begins to make its mark on Thalli's heart. But can Thalli
really come to trust in a generous, protective Designer who rules
over all things? Would that not be setting herself up for another
betrayal?
The time for her to decide is now . . . because the State is
closing in.
"McGee once again blends a Christian message within a horrific
science fiction plot . . . death, torture, and confusing love
triangles." --"Booklist"
"McGee blends the determination of faith, the malevolence of
those who extol power over decency, and the assertion of individual
integrity in a humane glimpse at youthful courage." --"Publisher's
Weekly"
