Hunter is a privileged citizen who lives in a different world from the Outsiders.  Two differing life paths interface when Hunter becomes enamored with the Outsiders’ freedom.  This dystopian novel takes place in London.  The story is about a strict, straight-laced government for the Citizens and the creative adaptive environment of the Outsiders.  Conflict comes when a faction of the governmental soldiers (Kassaks) decide to take control for themselves.  This is a fast-paced novel in which readers will gain insight into how people can be continually manipulated because they have so much to lose.  Readers will see that there the characters look at things in different ways, but that working together, as Hunter and Uma do, usually results in the most satisfactory solution.

Readers will enjoy a look into the future in this novel by the author of the Carbon Diaries.
