Discover mutants and find that there were adults before the storm and have made these flashes with them anything.
are hardly the lightning continued to get the stilt walkers, strange creatures 4 meters high with a kind of headlights instead of eyes, the two realize that they are not friendly to hide from them. The stilt walkers can make the shelter of the two, they see not. Matt can eavesdrop on a conversation and concludes that he and Toby have to move south.
said than done, an adventure and horror chases the next. They are persecuted, hunted, and finally, Matt by an adult who is not mutated attacked. Matt can kill him, but is still injured so badly that he falls into a coma for 5 months.
When he awakens, he is confronted by a beautiful girl and finds that he is somewhere in a bed. That's right, a bed in a house! He is surprised and confused. Shortly after, Toby appears and informs him that he is on an island in the Pans. Loud children and young people have together to form a community. These are the Pans it shelters more often around the country. It turns out that by and by, the whole world has changed just as their inhabitants. The children develop skills that adults have disappeared or become mutants or completely primitive and aggressive child-hating cynic. In its shelter they are not certain. You must unmask a traitor and risk their lives.
That is a fantastic book. The author has managed to pull me completely under its spell. It's exciting, sometimes depressing and has no run lengths. It is packed full of hidden moral to treat our planet better because vengeance will be cruel to us otherwise.
A cliffhanger is present and I'm waiting now looking forward to part 2!
10 points!
