About this ebook

Homeland meets Marie Lu's Legend in Blackout, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Ally Condie called "a thrilling combination of Wells's trademark twists and terror. Fantastic!"

Laura and Alec are highly trained teenage terrorists. Jack and Aubrey are small-town high school students. There was no reason for their paths ever to cross.

But now a mysterious virus is spreading throughout America, infecting teenagers with impossible superpowers—and all teens are being rounded up, dragged to government testing facilities, and drafted into the army to fight terrorism.

Suddenly, Jack, Laura, Aubrey, and Alec find their lives intertwined in a complex web of deception, loyalty, and catastrophic danger—where one wrong choice could trigger an explosion that ends it all.


  • Teens with Powers: A mysterious virus is giving teenagers impossible abilities, from invisibility to terrifying strength. But these new gifts make them targets of the government.
  • Unlikely Allies: Two teenage terrorists and two small-town high schoolers are thrown together when the nationwide roundup begins, forcing them to navigate a world where no one can be trusted.
  • High Stakes Action: In a world of deception and danger, the four teens must survive a conspiracy where one wrong move could mean catastrophe for everyone.
  • Multiple POV: See the crisis unfold through the eyes of both the hunters and the hunted, where loyalties are tested and no one is who they seem.
