The author of fiction, poetry, and children's books, Baggott here offers the first in a post-apocalyptic trilogy being compared to Justin Cronin's The Passage and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. After the Detonations, the burned and scarred survivors must turn themselves over to the authorities at age 16, to become either soldiers or live targets. Now 16 and (understandably) on the run, Pressia encounters Partridge, one of the Pures-so-called because they were inside the Dome during the Detonations and hence are undamaged.
