About this audiobook

In the ruins of civilization, a young girl's kindness and capacity for love will either save humanity -- or wipe it out in this USA Today bestselling thriller Joss Whedon calls "heartfelt, remorseless, and painfully human."

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her "our little genius."

Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointed at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

Ratings and reviews

Good listen. I enjoyed it . A bit silly with the protagonist between parks and justeneu. But ya can't have everything, where would you keep it. I listened while on the road. Great way to let the milescrole by. The narrator was great. Her style suited this story perfectly. I just bought the next one. $25.95. So ya know I liked it.

Haven't finished it just started it actually. This narrator is amazing. She doesn't just read the story she makes it a reality. Can't wait to continue :D Update: God this book was amazing :D I thought i was tired of hearing this type of story but this made my imagination run wild

The book is great, but the person reading brings it to life. one of the few books a prefer by audio just due to her amazing voice work.
