Synopsis:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author D.J. MacHale comesSTORM —the exhilarating, action-packed sequel to SYLO :

"Absolutely un-put-downable, more exciting than an X-box and roller coaster combined."—Kirkus, starred review

"With this extremely high-octane story that's the equivalent to a summer movie blockbuster, MacHale kicks off an apocalyptic trilogy sure to leave readers demanding the next installment."—Booklist

"An entertaining and creepy tale."—Publishers Weekly

After a harrowing escape from the SYLO-occupied Pemberwick Island, Tucker Pierce and his surviving friends—Tori, Kent, and Olivia—have finally reached the mainland only to find that no one is left.

From the bowels of a Portland hospital where they encounter their first fellow survivor to the deserted Walmarts they must raid, Tucker, Tori, and company set off on a journey to Nevada on a quest for answers and, for Tucker, vengeance. But as one highway gives way to the next—and one death-defying escape precedes another—Tucker soon realizes that “trust no one” doesn’t just mean the U.S. military.
