Trust Burned: a gripping YA Disaster Dystopian - Paperback

by L. B. Carter (Author)

As the fire of fear spreads, some want to watch the world burn. Henley Bickford earned a scholarship to a prestigious university after building her own bionic hand. Consumed by the fire to save people with her inventions, she works in the engineering sector of a high-tech lab, until she learns the "termination" clause in her robotics project contract is a literal one. An ally on the outside warns Ace "Buster" Acton it's time to drop his covert task of stealing university research for the government. His new goal: extract a genetic mutant and the scientist who made her. It's not in Ace's nature to leave others behind - they could be an asset in a successful escape - while Henley, burned by betrayal, has no choice but to take "the Bus'" hand and run. With enemies blazing hot on their tail, they must collaborate with a competing team vying for their stolen goods if they hope to save countless lives... including their own. Outrunning the brightest minds in the country won't be easy. Can the growing band of misfits work together to warn the world of the billowing clouds of death closing in or will they be silenced by their own inventions? -----------------------------Fans of the Maze Runner, the Hunger Games, and the movies The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 will get sucked into the gripping trilogy reviewers call unique and refreshing with dynamic characters, a smattering of romance, and twists and turns of edge-of-your-seat action, mystery and danger Grab book 2 in the internationally bestselling, award-winning disaster dystopian trilogy, called "refreshing" and "unique" (An upper YA/NA with some sexual references and swearing.)
