BLURB:
Matt, Raine went to California
because her parents thought it was safe. It’s not. You’ve got to get her out as
soon as possible. She could die, Matt.
When
19-year-old Matt Carney gets a cryptic message from his father telling him to
go to California and save his girlfriend, Raine, he doesn't hesitate—he grabs
his AK-47, revs up his blue pickup, and gets ready to make the 2,300-mile
roadtrip.
But
cross-country travel in 2021 isn't easy—or, sometimes, even possible. The U.S.
has become a near-military state: 17,000 checkpoints severely restrict
interstate movement, Predator drones target innocent civilians without cause,
and explosions rock cities daily. Matt and his stepbrother, Benjy, face deadly
attacks from a corrupt government, ruthless local law enforcement, and
bloodthirsty terrorist groups as they embark on their trek. They're about to
find out that their trip is much more than a private journey, and their success
could change the face of the country—forever.
Can
Matt and Benjy outrun the drone missiles raining down on their heads? Can they
avoid assassination by government officials hell-bent on taking over what
little is left of the country? Can they outsmart the deadly schemes set in
motion against them?
Break
the rules.
Save
the girl.
He
only gets one chance before she's gone forever.
