I’m a big fan—and shameless advocate for—writing conferences. It doesn’t matter where you’re at in your writing journey. It’s in your best interests to attend a writing conference as often as you can.
At the very least, you’ll find yourself surrounded by other people as book-nerdy as you. Creative souls who can encourage, challenge, sharpen and cheer you on.
Two generations ago, Earth’s richest citizens—the Hoarders—seized control of the planet’s resources, retreated into their heavily guarded Enclaves, and left the rest of the population to fend for itself.
Until recently, when the Hoarders began to randomly implant people with a new kind of micro-technology, capable of converting their unsuspecting hosts into violent and deadly automatons. They also created the Trackers, chemically and mechanically enhanced creatures fanatically devoted to hunting down and killing anyone unlucky enough to have an Implant.
Amos Morgan and Aubrey Carter, together with a small band of fellow Runners, must unravel the mystery, racing against time before the Trackers discover them.
And before their own Implants change them into . . .
Something else.
The Enclave’s walls are impenetrable, insulating society’s richest — the Hoarders — inside their protective barriers. Outside, the majority of humanity is left to survive as best they can.
Two generations later, the Hoarders began kidnapping and experimenting on those outside their walls. The Implants — micro-technology surgically forced on their unwitting victims — convert ordinary people into lethal time bombs waiting to activate.
Thomas and Sarah are on the run, narrowly eluding the Trackers, the sub-human killing machines programmed and deployed by the Hoarders to exterminate anyone with an Implant.
The young couple’s instinct for survival is second only to their determination to save their friends, victims of the Implants, from certain annihilation.
This isn’t what their first year of marriage was supposed to look like.
And the Trackers are closing in.
