Read the latest from Canadian author, Eric Walters.
One shocking afternoon, computers around the globe shut down in a viral catastrophe. At sixteen-year-old Adam Daley’s high school, the problems at first seems to be a typical electrical outage, until the students discover the cell phones are down, municipal utilities are failing, and the only vehicles that function are a few ancient computer-free cars like Adam’s. Driving home, Adam encounters a storm tide of anger and gear as the region becomes paralyzed. Soon – as resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos descends – he will see his suburban neighborhood band together for protection. And Adam will understand that having a police captain for a mother and a retired government spy living next door are not just the facts of his life but the keys to survival.
No AR test yet... But read it, as it sounds great!
