Publisher Description
“Apocalyptic dystopian fiction at its best. Angler’s sharp wit and dexterity with political themes are matched only by the thrilling suspense on every page.” —Lis Wiehl, New York Times bestselling author and FOX News correspondent
In a future United States under the power of a charismatic leader, everyone gets the Mark at age thirteen. The Mark lets citizen shop, go to school, and even get medical care—but without it, you are on your own. Few refuse to get the Mark. Those who do . . . disappear.
Logan Langly went in to get his Mark, but he backed out at the last minute. Now he’s on the run from government agents who will stop at nothing to capture him. But Logan is on a mission to find and save his sister, Lily, who disappeared five years ago on her thirteenth birthday, the day she was supposed to receive her Mark.
Logan and his friends, a group of dissenters called the Dust, discover a vast network of the Unmarked, who help them travel safely to the capital city where Lily is imprisoned. Along the way, the Dust receives some startling information from the Markless community, opening their eyes to the message of Christianity and warning that humanity is now entering the End of Days.
When the Dust finally arrives in the capital, it seems that all their careful planning is useless against a government that will do anything to bend its citizens to its will. Can the gentle words Logan has found in a tattered, banned Bible really stand against the most powerful military the world has ever known? Can Logan even sacrifice his own freedom, choosing to act through faith alone?

"Amazing series. So glad my teen asked me to preread these. At first, I was thinking, "Nooooo, another dystopian sci-fi???" and it was difficult to push myself to read the first few chapters of Book 1. But then I started to see the direction it was going, and saw the wisdom of reading through to the end. I am struck with the relevance of these books given everything that's happening now in our world and freedoms being eroded away. The books do give hope, as do all books that tackle the unending battle between good and evil. Some notes even of LOTR and the Beacons of Gondor in Book 2. Amazing read, can't wait for the next one."

" Not as good as the first, but interesting "

" I really liked this book. It had a very 1984-esque feel sometimes, but that made it even better because I LOVED 1984. I liked the plot twists, such as Erin's dad getting demoted back to Beacon, Logan not dying when DOME first catches the Dust at the barn, Hailey finding Logan, Dane staying to broadcast in that villiage, the Dust getting away from the bait family, Lily (probably?!) helping by hacking the computer before Erin could, and finding out about the disease at the end. Plus, there's a character named Bridget...and my name is Brigette. So, i liked that ;) "

About Evan Angler
Evan Angler is safe, for now. He lives without the Mark, evading DOME and writing in the shadows of Beacon. But if anyone asks, you know nothing about him. Don’t make eye contact if you see him. Don’t call his name out loud. He’s in enough trouble already. And so are you, if you read his books.
