Drastic change calls for drastic measures. Erebus rising is a gripping political thriller--and a chilling warning of what happens when the delicate balance of freedom and prosperity is disturbed.
September 2065, Boston, MA: two raggedly dressed boys murder a middle-aged man in his suburban backyard. September 2067, Cammalot, SC: two raggedly dressed boys murder a high school girl outside a small town. The killers leave little evidence, and they never appear on the massive, nationwide surveillance system. Twelve-year-old Adam Carter longs to escape the starkly downtrodden town he calls home, and shake the painful memories of his sister's recent murder. He applies and is admitted to Arcadia: one of the most prestigious boarding schools in the country. His excitement quickly wanes when he witnesses harassment and anti-Semitism go unpunished. He struggles with the grueling course load-a task better suited for those equipped with neural implants. But more disturbing are the clues about his sister's murder that an anonymous sender dangles just out of reach. Adam follows the clues, only to be thrust into a plot far greater than an unsolved murder-a political conspiracy that has been boiling for decades-one that threatens the entire country.
