THE RULES OF SURVIVAL ARE SIMPLE: DO AS YOU ARE, TOLD OR RESIST AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. WELCOME TO 2071... From the ashes of a devastated civilization, a new way of life has evolved. A single business entity, GET, governs a handful of mega-cities that offer protection from the wild and ravaged outside world of North America in exchange for one thing-servitude. So when, seventeen-year-olds Aiden Bishop and Evie Fox get chosen to take part in the government's coveted Half-Dead program, they think they've been given a chance to do more than survive. But when, their paths collide and an unlikely alliance turns into an unbreakable bond, Aiden and Evie uncover the dark secret fueling GET's tyrannical rule. Now faced with a terrifying truth, they will need to choose between right or wrong, life or death, and this world or the next.
