YA
With the aid of a retired spy and his police-captain mother, Adam protects his post-apocalyptic neighborhood following a global blackout. Despite a victory against an invading force, tensions rise as rations dwindle and a new enemy threatens to destroy them from within. While the betrayer's identity isn't surprising, slow-burn tension and a game-changing cliffhanger will keep readers riveted for the third installment.
