Produktbeschreibung
The only thing deadlier than the air is the people breathing it. Sadie can perceive what others cannot. A rare and hazardous gift, it is one she would rather not possess, as its price is great suffering. Wandering the wastelands of a ruined Earth plagued by gangs and Cling-an affliction which shortens the human lifespan to a mere few decades-Sadie's hope to find a slice of utopia fades. When an act of desperation in a reckless moment sets her on the run from a vicious warlord, her flight leads to a mysterious boy who seems to hold the answers to Sadie's salvation. If she will use her gift to help his community, he vows to share the location of a tunnel deep beneath the ground-a tunnel revealed to Sadie in a fever dream as the key to defeating her pursuers. But when Sadie enters the tunnel, what she discovers plunges the boy's community into unimaginable peril. Fortunately, Sadie has a few tricks up her sleeve-and an old acquaintance with a notorious set of skills who just may agree to join the fray. "Though post-apocalyptic novels set in a Mad Max-like landscape aren't new, Menapace and Bravo make this hard-bitten world come alive ... elevates the genre with snappy writing, well-drawn characters, intriguing back story, and bracing battles." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Thumbs up...stands out as one of the best post-apocalyptic novels I've read." - J. Chambers, Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer
