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. That's what sixteen-year-old Adam Daley learns one shocking afternoon when computers around the globe shut down in a viral catastrophe.
At Adam's 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 Adam's are the only vehicles that function.
Driving home, Adam encounters a storm tide of anger and fear as the region becomes paralyzed. Soon-as resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos descends-he 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.
