"Dad asked me if I wanted to see more of the Compound. I didn't. We would have to wait fifteen years before it would be safe to go outside. Which left more than enough time to see the rest of the Compound.

"Our new world. A world I would soon hate."

Eli and his family have lived in the Compound for six years. The world they knew is gone. Eli's father built the Compound to keep them safe. Now, they can't get out.

He won't let them.

Excellent thriller! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. The narrator was a perfect fit, which helps immensely. Some similarities to the Wayward Pines storyline with a single family.

A must read!
