Homeland meets Marie Lu's Legend in Blackout, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Ally Condie called a thrilling combination of Wells's trademark twists and terror. Fantastic!
Laura and Alec are highly trained teenage terrorists. Jack and Aubrey are small-town high school students. There was no reason for their paths ever to cross.
But now a mysterious virus is spreading throughout America, infecting teenagers with impossible superpowers--and all teens are being rounded up, dragged to government testing facilities, and drafted into the army to fight terrorism.
Suddenly, Jack, Laura, Aubrey, and Alec find their lives intertwined in a complex web of deception, loyalty, and catastrophic danger--where one wrong choice could trigger an explosion that ends it all.
- Teens with Superpowers: A mysterious virus grants impossible abilities, but also makes every teenager a target for a government that wants to control them.
- YA Dystopian Thriller: In a world of terrorist attacks and martial law, four teens must navigate a nationwide roundup that puts them on a collision course with each other and the army.
- Enemies to Allies: Two are trained terrorists, two are small-town kids. When they're thrown together, they have to decide who the real enemy is--each other, or the soldiers hunting them.
- Found Family: Thrown together by a dangerous conspiracy, Jack, Aubrey, Laura, and Alec must become reluctant allies where trusting the wrong person could be fatal.
