"...Moreton keeps readers hooked." -- Kirkus Reviews
"....Moreton is a superb and inspired storyteller and with so many mediocre books being published, this is a relatively rare feat." -- Deadly Pleasures
For fans of The Hunger Games, I Am Number Four, and the Maximum Ride series, here is action and adventure at its finest.
The end is only the beginning...
Welcome to the future. Twelve-year-old Owen, and his brother David, watch as government soldiers arrest their parent’s and burn the family farm to the ground. With their home in ruins and with no food or shelter, the boys, along with their dog Lobo, set out on a journey to discover where their mother and father have been taken as the United States continues to fall into chaos.
"The future ended yesterday. According to a report broadcast over a shortwave radio frequency late last night, the last female on earth has died. She was murdered, the report stated, gutted like a fish with a fillet knife. It doesn’t matter how she died because the result is the same: there are no more women. No one left to bear children. No way to procreate. No way to repopulate the earth. So the clock is ticking. There aren’t many of us left, and every day the number slowly dwindles. Every death is a life that can’t be replenished. The human race is on its way back to zero." ....from BACK TO ZERO
