No Safety in Numbers
Dayna Lorentz
When Marco, on his way to work in the mall, finds a suspicious package in the duct work, he calls 9-1-1 immediately. No one knows what the package contains--probably biochemical in nature. So when the Senator, who happens to be eating at the mall with her family, is called in to help the police, the order the mall into quarantine. When those in charge realize their mistake, it is too late.
When people around the mall start getting sick and turning blue, those in power realize just what damage might have been done.
This story is told from four different teen perspectives that connect with each other and paint the large picture of what a true bio-weapon attack could mean.
Yeah, this is another story I read in about 2 sittings. It's a fast paced, easy-language, engaging story that brings to light a very real idea of terrorism. The teens face incredible odds, and they begin to see just how animalistic humans can be when stretched to their wits' end. Each teen has a different story, so any reader can relate SOMEhow to one of the narrations.
This is the first in a series, and I cannot wait for the next one!
