Desolation Angels

Some of the people begin to realize that Paradise City is not what it's cracked up to be. Jonah still believes in Novo Mundum and wants to stay and help. Amber doesn't have much choice; she's far along in her pregnancy and simply can't try to run away.

Keely, Diego, Michael, Liza and Irene decide to leave, though. They have to first find a way to get out past an electrified fence, and then somehow try to elude any patrols the city will send after them, a major problem considering that Liza's father will obviously stop at nothing to get her back.

In addition to eluding Novo Mundum patrols, though, the group also will have to try to stay away from the Slash, a task that they fail at. Once again they run into Maggie, and the question becomes whether or not Maggie will help them escape or not.

On top of all of this they have to figure out who they can tell about the medical experiments going on in Novo Mundum. There doesn't appear to be much of anyone they can trust, definitely not anyone in the new "government" of the country.

The third novel is just as good as the first two in the series; perhaps even better. The kinds of problems that the group of people face are extremely serious and very major. The future of millions of people could very well lie on their next actions. There is not doubt that Novo Mundum would rather most of them be dead; the Slash is into torture and sexual slavery of women; the government would be inclined to shoot them on sight. A lot of weight on their shoulders, a lot of action in the novel and another really good book in the series.
