Year Zero

Beschreibung

In the near future, the Second American Revolution is over and a new nation of tyranny is unveiled. It's been two years since the establishment of the brutal dictatorship The Incorporated Precincts of America along with its governing Board and CEO-and the death of the old America. Sixteen-year-old Joey Cryer has two missions: to keep their six-year-old sister, Julia, safe, and to not die. Two years earlier, Joey's biggest concern was sitting at the right cafeteria table at his high school or if the girl they liked liked them back. Now, with violent protests breaking out in every city, attacks against immigrants, and the national crisis of the Capitol Event, young Joey must keep their vigilance in staying clear of the IPA's ever-watching Sons of Liberty-its ruthless police force-to avoid becoming "disappeared" with their little sister, the only family they have left. Any thought, word, or action against The Corporation means self-destruction. It's no surprise to Joey that the high school bully, Harlan Grundy is a loyalist to the fascists, carrying out their dirty deeds to keep the community in check. But when Joey finds they must ally with a betrayed Harlan to save their sister, can they trust their former enemy with their fates? Joey must risk it all to find out. This first title in The Revolution's Children trilogy.

Autor

Author David Dean Lugo often gets ideas for his stories by wondering what if? In his new young adult dystopian novel, Year Zero, he probed this when writing about a future fascist America run by a governing body called The Corporation and its CEO. Lugo believes that today's trend of people judging one another too harshly-whether based on their political party, gender identity, or something else-is causing people to drift too far away from one another. His story explores potential extreme ramifications of this.Lugo believes a great book is one that has believable characters that readers can identify with and relate to. He hopes his stories evoke emotion and thinking from his readers long after the book is closed.When he isn't writing thought-provoking YA novels, Lugo enjoys playing guitar, watching movies, playing video/board games, and hanging out with his amazing family. He lives in southwest New Hampshire with his wife Meredith, son Jacob, and their rascally Labrador/Collie mix named Astrid. Year Zero is the first volume in his The Revolution's Children trilogy.
