Award-winning author Scott Mackayâs "fast-paced action adventureâ depicts the story of a struggle for liberty against unknown captorsâand a fight for survival in an unknown worldâ¦(The Washington Post). Young Felicitas has woken in a prison cellâunable to remember how she got there. She doesnât know where the prison isâexcept that it is most definitely not on Earth. And she has no idea why all the other prisoners walk around in a daze. In dreams, she is forced to relive crimes she cannot remember committing. Felicitas soon notices that the mechanized sentries surveilling the inmates are breaking down. The automated system is collapsing, putting everybody at risk. Along with some others who have awakened out of their daze, Felicitas sees a chance to escape. Yet the harsh penal world she and her fellow fugitives escape to is as fraught with danger as the now perilously malfunctioning prison. And it turns out there is much more at stake than just a prison break. As those stakes become clear, Felicitas must choose between freedom, imprisonment, the human race, and history itself. Driven by âan intriguing puzzle scenario and tense prison action,â this thrilling novel of sci-fi suspense promises to keep readers guessing and gasping until the final truth is revealed (Kirkus).
