About this ebook

USA TODAY bestselling author Jeff Hirsch once again creates a futuristic world with stunning, dramatic realism.

A civil war rages between the Glorious Path--a militant religion based on the teachings of a former US soldier--and what's left of the US government. Fifteen-year-old Callum Roe and his younger brother, James, were captured and forced to convert six years ago. Cal has been working in the Path's dog kennels, and is very close to becoming one of the Path's deadliest secret agents. Then Cal befriends a stray dog named Bear and kills a commander who wants to train him to be a vicious attack dog. This sends Cal and Bear on the run, and sets in motion a series of incredible events that will test Cal's loyalties and end in a fierce battle that the fate of the entire country rests on.

Ratings and reviews

I won't ruin anything... but I read the book and it is amazing. Very creative and well thought through. I love jeffs books, but this one stood out as my favorite and maybe yours to. :)

i am only 15 but i got this book in 6th grade and i have read it over and over again, the book has tons of action, several plot twists and sudden changes along with almost impossible choices and and near death situations, i never i though id like this book, ive always been an action book kind of person and this book exceeded my expectations, ive read this book like 4 or 5 times and id read it 4 or 5 more times and still be very satisfied with it. i would recommend this book very highly to you because it constantly keeps you reading and wanting to know what happens next.

I've read it over and over again and I still love the story. I get into it so much I'm always sad when I get to the end.
