Description
Separated from each other in the Survivors' City, each of the kids has struggled to create a new life. Watched by Minders and patrolled by Blues, the kids find life in the City to be hot, crowded and filled with deeply traumatized people trying to rebuild their lives. As a new soldier, Liam is required to enforce the laws of the community, but that doesn't stop him for looking for his friends, every chance he gets. Meanwhile, Nester's thrown into the counter-culture of his step-father's revolutionary goals. Amy searches for help for little Suyari, whose strange behavior suggests a more serious handicap than she had originally thought. Jax struggles with demons and questions about his own identity that threaten his relationships, while Marty has become involved with a dangerous group of subversives who hope to uproot the Survivors City entirely. Katie loves her job growing vegetables, but her bad memory puts her future there in jeopardy. And Samir--the kid from the forest the others met on the journey to the Mountain Place--must earn their trust before any of the kids will believe he is sincere in his efforts to reunite them. Meanwhile, things are far from smooth in the operation of the Survivor's City. Factions square off to fight for control of the tiny island. When one of the kids lands in the cross fire, the others must work together...before it's too late. Told from the point of view of three survivors: Jax, Katie and Samir, Survivors' Stories is a unique view of a post-apocalyptical dystopia ripped from today's headlines.
