Broken Angel by Sigmund Brouwer
Broken Angel by Sigmund Brouwer
Amazon Description:
In the rough, shadowy hills of Appalachia, a nation carved from the United States following years of government infighting, Caitlyn and her companions are the prey in a terrifying hunt. They must outwit the relentless bounty hunters, skirt an oppressive, ever-watchful society, and find passage over the walls of Appalachia to reveal the dark secrets behind Caitlyn’s existence–and understand her father’s betrayal.
In this engrossing, lightning-paced story with a post-apocalyptic edge, best-selling author Sigmund Brouwer weaves a heroic, harrowing journey through the path of a treacherous culture only one or two steps removed from our own.
When they say "lightning-paced," they mean it. This book starts fast and just keeps going until the end. The futuristic/alternate reality Brouwer has created portrays the frightening concept of a dictatorial theocracy that tells you what to believe and how - and makes you disappear if you don't obey. Amidst this oppressive society, Caitlyn struggles to find the secrets to her past - why she is different, why she and her father have been hiding from the Outside her entire life - so that she can unlock her destiny. Add just a dash of science fiction, and you've got a book that's part X-Men, part Bourne Identity, all thrills.
Though only in hardcover right now, the paperback releases on May 5.
