When a computer virus destroys society, a high school kid must learn to survive in this YA apocalyptic thriller series debut.
A person can last three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food. But without technology, a community will collapse almost immediately. Thatâs what sixteen-year-old Adam Daley learns one shocking afternoon when computers around the globe shut down in a viral catastrophe.
At Adamâs high school, the problem first seems to be a typical electrical outage, until students discover that cell phones are down, municipal utilities are failing, and a few computer-free cars like Adamâs are the only vehicles that function.
Driving home, Adam encounters a storm tide of anger and fear as the region becomes paralyzed. Soonâas resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos descendsâhe will see his suburban neighborhood band together for protection. And Adam will understand that having a police captain for a mother and a retired government spy living next door are not just the facts of his life, but the keys to his survival.
