About This Book
BENSON FISHER thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life. He was wrong. Now he's trapped in a school surrounded by a razor-wire fence, where video cameras monitor his every move—and where breaking the rules equals death. When he stumbles upon the school's real secret, he realizes that escape may be impossible.
In this pulse-pounding dystopian thriller, Robison Wells artfully blends the action of GONE with the tension and suspense of THE MAZE RUNNER and LORD OF THE FLIES. The result is a story that is unpredictable and hauntingly real.
