In this action-packed adventure from a New York Times bestselling
author, two teenagers from opposite worlds must fight their way through
a vast walled quarantine zone in a dystopian America toward their only
chance for survival.
Seventeen-year-old Maisie Rojas has spent her entire life in the Q--a
post-pandemic quarantine zone that was once Austin, Texas. Born and
raised behind the high security walls that sealed their fate, she's now
a trusted lieutenant for one of the territory's controlling families.
Lennon Pierce, the charismatic son of a US presidential candidate, has
just been kidnapped by his father's enemies and dropped out of a plane
into the Q with nothing but a parachute strapped to his back. Lennon is
given a temporary antidote to the disease and crucial intel for his
father, but Maisie must get him out of the zone within forty-eight
hours--or he will be permanently infected and forced to remain.
With unrest brewing both inside and outside the Q, reaching the exit is
a daunting and dangerous task. But if Maisie and Lennon fail, it could
mean disaster for the entire quarantine zone and its inhabitants--and
could cost Lennon his life.
