The New Order by Chris Weitz

5.0

Damn, this book was awesome. Jefferson, Donna, Peter, and Brainbox are captured by American sailors. They thought that the world had been infected by the plague and that everyone was wiped out.

They were wrong.

As they make their way to Hawaii, which is the capital of America now, they are treated as hostiles. While on ship, there is a secret organization that is trying to free the survivors and escape from government treachery. Jefferson, Peter, and Brainbox escape with the rebel group, while Donna is accidentally left behind.

The two groups split off to their own adventures; Jeff, Peter, and Brainbox to take the cure to New York, and Donna to Cambridge to become a double agent for the British government.

This initially started as a post apocalyptic series, but has taken on an espionage aspect that was surprising, but works in the story's plot.

This is a fun book, and I can't wait to see how Weitz wraps it all up.
