This one is about a twelve year old boy who is preparing to pledge his alliance and his life to the American Union. The day of his pledging goes off the tracks quickly after a culmination of years of suspicions and weird occurrences. Logan Langley's sister disappeared the day of her pledge. Everyone said it was a procedural fluke. Logan knew differently. Ever since he has had an eerie feeling of being followed and watched. He can't get proof though until the DOME's top agent comes to town with his teenage daughter. Logan and Erin discover the truth of Logan's thoughts and dig into a deep web of uncertainty, lies and trouble. Events unfold exposes the flaws of the government, the rebels against it, and where Logan stands in it all.
This story is all too familiar. It seems every book is 'rage against the government'. Although it is good to stand for what you believe in, you can only read so many books about this. I think that's why I'm not really a fan of this book. I've read too many lately.
The author also tried too hard. He tired to make the technology so futuristic that it went too far. A little bit of technology would have been fine but he tried to make everything seem so big and far fetched. Nothing was familiar. Nothing was simple. It was just too much.
Overall I think this book was pretty good. Just not my thing. If you're into futuristic fantasy stories jump on board with this book. If not, stand here with me and wait for yet another to roll by.
