This volume concludes the Escape from Furnace series, which follows the adventures of boys incarcerated in a vividly violent prison and subjected to Frankensteinian experiments. Alex both eludes a new villain and gains a surprising understanding of Alfred Furnace, his long-standing nemesis. The predictable body count and plot twists reach new heights, but Alex grows ever more heroic in this sweeping finale.
