Description

Homeland meets Marie Lu’s Legend in the explosive sequel to Blackout, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Ally Condie called “a thrilling combination of Wells’s trademark twists and terror. Fantastic!”

It began with a virus. Then a series of attacks erupted across the nation. Now America is at war—and a handful of teens with impossible powers are its only defense.

In Dead Zone, Robison Wells delivers his most nail-bitingly tense read yet—and an electrifying conclusion to a two-book series that’s perfect for fans of The Maze Runner and I Am Number Four.


But when the enemy's secret weapon can shut down all technology, can a handful of teenagers really turn the tide of war?


  • Teens with Superpowers: Follow Aubrey, an invisible soldier, and Jack, whose super-senses make him the perfect tracker, as they lead a team of young heroes on a desperate mission.
  • High-Stakes Military Sci-Fi: Experience the front lines of a modern American war zone where special ops teens are the most valuable weapon against a technologically superior enemy.
  • A Unique Secret Weapon: The invaders can create a “dead zone” that disables all electronics, from fighter jets to gunsights. How do you fight an enemy when technology is useless?
  • A Binge-Worthy Duology: The perfect next read for fans of The Maze Runner and Legend, this electrifying finale concludes the high-octane story that began in Blackout.
