Blackout

Description

Attacks are sweeping across America. Alec and Laura are at the center of the violence, while in a small town out west Jack and Aubrey feel sheltered from the turmoil. But these four teens are about to find their lives intertwined in ways they never could have imagined-and one wrong step could trigger an explosion that ends it all.

Robison Wells is the author of Blackout and the YA science-fiction thrillers Variant and Feedback. Variant was a Publishers Weekly Best Book and a YALSA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers. Robison lives in the Rocky Mountains in a house not too far from elk pastures. His wife, Erin, is a better person than he will ever be, and their three kids cause mischief and/or joy.
