Overview

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.
SCIENTISTS WARNED IT WOULD HAPPEN.


Meteors devastated the Earth. World governments developed plans to help surviving citizens. The United States disbanded and salvageable land was divided into four quadrants—North, South, East, and West—governed by The Remnant Council.

Struggling to survive, seventeen-year-old Ava ends up in juvenile detention, until she is selected for a new life—with a catch. She must be injected with an experimental serum. The results will be life changing. The serum will make her better. To receive the serum, Ava agrees to join a program controlled by ISAN: the International Sensory Assassin Network.

While on a mission, she is abducted by a rebel group led by Rhett and told that not only does she have a history with him, but her entire past is a lie perpetuated by ISAN to ensure her compliance. Unsure of who to trust, Ava must decide if her strangely familiar and handsome captor is her enemy or her savior—and time is running out.

"Captivating from the very beginning … this thrilling dystopian drama has a splash of romance and tons of action." ~ School Library Journal

"Addictive and impossible to put it down!" ~Addison Moore, New York Times Bestselling Author

“The idea of using heightened sense was original. The characters help the readers to become invested in the story. Excellent world-building and a great treatment of a classic plot.”—Benjamin Franklin Award

 

“Ava is a relatable heroine thrown into extraordinal circumstance, and the cast of support characters is realized fully and just as exciting to watch. ISAN series comes highly recommended as an action-filled, high -octane sci-fi adventure with some truly emotive and revolutionary moments.” —Readers’ Favorite Book Review

 

“Captivating from the very beginning, this sci-fi novel explores issues of autonomy and survival in a world where there are few remaining citizens after meteors crashed into Earth … this thrilling dystopian drama has a splash of romance and tons of action. The fast-paced chapters will engage reluctant readers and fans of postapocalyptic scenarios.” —School Library Journal
