The sequel to Agenda 21--which Brad Thor called "a brilliantly
written, exhilarating, pulse-pounding adventure"--from #1 New York
Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host Glenn
Beck.
It was once named America, but now it is just "the Republic." Following
the worldwide implementation of a UN-led program called Agenda 21, the
once-proud people of America have become obedient residents who live in
barren, brutal Compounds and serve the autocratic, merciless
Authorities.
Citizens mainly keep their heads down and their mouths shut--but
Emmeline is different. When the Authorities took her mother away, she
started questioning the world around her. What happened to her mom? Why
is everyone confined to grim living spaces and made to eat the same food
cubes every day? Why was her own baby taken from her to be raised in the
Children's Village? And are those who got away during the
Relocations--the so-called shadow people--merely a rumor?
When Emmeline's questions lead to the realization that she will never
see her child again, she decides to escape the Compound. Fleeing the
armed enforcers of the Earth Protection Agency, and facing the unknown
for the first time in their lives, Emmeline and her partner David run
into the shadows in the desperate hope of finding something they'd only
heard stories about from those who'd lived before the Relocations:
freedom.
