About this ebook

In an America devastated by war and plague, the only way to survive is to keep moving.In the aftermath of a war, America's landscape has been ravaged and two-thirds of the population left dead from a vicious strain of influenza. Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn and his family were among the few that survived and became salvagers, roaming the country in search of material to trade. But when Stephen's grandfather dies and his father falls into a coma after an accident, Stephen finds his way to Settler's Landing, a community that seems too good to be true. Then Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny, who refuses to accept things as they are. And when they play a prank that goes horribly wrong, chaos erupts, and they find themselves in the midst of a battle that will change Settler's Landing--and their lives--forever.

Ratings and reviews

This book had me on the edge of my seat. It has an interesting plot that was very easy to follow, and very unique characters. There are a lot of unexpected twists and turns, plus funny, emotional, and aggravating moments as well; it's very easy top get lost in this book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good read.

All though I am know to hate books so I the very first time ever I actually like a book.......next stop reading the hunger games......p.s. plz make it free I know its a good book but more peoploe could enjoy it for free or like $1.99 plz change and I might buy.......p.s. again if you are looking for a action book with lots of thrills this is the book for you

I was hoping for some imaginative character development out some diabolical twists of fate. Instead the only cliche missing was the dark and stormy night, though that was there. Sadly, I read it to the end.
