Review Detail

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. Still, Maisie must get him out of the zone within forty-eight hours--or he will be permanently infected and forced to remain."
What I liked:
What a unique concept of showing us the world inside The Q. Drop an important person kid inside and have it unfold like a documentary that gives you a glimpse inside a closed-off area in this world. The author admits that this story is eerily close to things we have encountered over the last two years, but in actual book format, it makes for a good tale. Also, being told from dual points of view makes for an enjoyable slow-burn romance between Lennon and Maisie.
Final Verdict:
I am unsure if this is a stand-alone, as some questions are not entirely answered at the end of the story. However, if you are a fan of dystopian tales and have avoided them for a while, pick this one up for a new take on this genre.
