Publisher Description
“Reichs knows exactly how to mix action, suspense, and characters into a breathless read.” —Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of Warcross
The blistering sequel to the instant New York Times bestselling Nemesis by Brendan Reichs.
Noah Livingston knows he is destined to survive.
The 64 members of Fire Lake's sophomore class are trapped in a place where morals have no meaning and zero rules apply. But Noah's deaths have trained him-hardened him-to lead the strongest into the future ... whatever that may be. And at any cost.
Min Wilder knows that survival alone isn't enough.
In a violent world where brute force passes for leadership, it's tempting to lay back and let everyone else battle it out. But Min's instincts rebel against allowing others to decide who lives and who dies. She's ready to fight for what she believes in. And against whomever might stand in her way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reichs (coauthor of the Virals series) incorporates enough life-threatening, apocalyptic elements into this fast-moving tale for half a dozen ordinary thrillers: an extinction-event-size asteroid, comets crashing to Earth, mysterious tsunamis and earthquakes, secret medical experiments, libertarian survivalists, and more. Sixteen-year-old Min Wilder, meanwhile, has problems of another sort: on her birthday, a stranger, who may be related to the aforementioned apocalyptic events, murdered her, only for her to wake up, apparently unharmed, in a forest near the Idaho trailer park where she lives. This has now happened five times: five deaths and five resurrections. With worldwide destruction imminent, a military unit has sealed off Min's town, and she learns that her classmate Noah (who trades narration duties with Min) is experiencing the same kind of recurring violence. Min is a tough hero, and her close friend Tack is compulsively funny, though other characters hew more to stereotypes. Reichs pulls everything together at the book's end, and a plot twist few will see coming should leave readers eagerly awaiting the second book in this duology. Ages 12 up.
Customer Reviews
Amazing Book!
This entire series was amazing and it was filled with so many plot twists. You may think you know what's going on but you're completely wrong. It just gets more crazy and interesting as you go along.
Everything I expected PLUS SOME
This book was GREAT. I couldn’t put it down. I cannot wait to read the final book next year!
Got a free book!!!
Brendan Reichs gave me a free book along with my three other friends when my school cascade middle was on a trip at MTSU in Tennessee. I have read to page 108 so far and it’s a extremely cool book. As far as I can tell Brendan is a very friendly person and I would like to thank you for my book
