This series just gets better and better. Vicki has been led to the Stahley Residence by Lionel the GC tracked his walkie talkie. They are on the run and trying to find somewhere to hide. Conrad talks to Mr. Stein about his questions about belief and how Conrad became a member of the YTF and received the mark. While the GC is overheard the house in the chopper Darrion is at the GCPD and as suspected has something to do with Judd, Vicki, or Lionel. Judd rushes to get Vicki and Shelly out of the house but Shelly is caught. Mark and Lionel run towards the river but find somewhere small to hide. Judd, Vicki, Lionel, Mark and Shelly hide in a cave just to be caught by GC but they couldn't get them. COnrad helps Mr. Stein become a Christian and they make a plan to get out of the jail cell. Melinda, Felicia, and Conrad go on a raid to Mr. Steins house to try to get some information. The YTF enacts their plan to get food, water and recharge the computer. As everyone splits up to save Darrion, Conrad and Mr. Stein; Judd goes to see Pete the motor biker and sees beat-up Taylor Graham who was thought dead. Judd talked to him about his brother (Conrad) and plans on helping them get everyone out. Commander Blanka sets up a meeting (trap) in which GC will be there with guns ready to shoot. They reach the meeting place and as suspected something is off. They get prepared to shoot them all. Conrad pulls his gun on the commander and everyone and then the Commander shout "FIRE!!!" Then, ironically a hailstorm comes and everyone pauses. Then, fire came down and all the melted hail turned into blood. Then it clicked, "God's Judgement" and "Angels' 1st Trumpet." The Morale Monitors Program may cease and Commander Blanka was reprimanded.

I’ve been reading this thrilling youth fiction series with my daughter Scarlett. We’ve made it through 15 books and we are determined to read the entire series!

It’s quite the adventurer as the Young Trib Force battle against Commander Blancka and the Global Community. Judd, Shelly & Vicki are hiding out from the GC in a cave just off the Stahley Mansion while Conrad, Darrion Stahley & Mr. Stein are being held prisoner.

What will be the fate of the Young Trib Force as they attempt to rescue their friends? What has become of Tsion Ben-Judah? What will be the Young Trib Forces’ next move?

Fast and Fun Read. Obviously far fetched, but creative!

Not a lot going on here.

I've been a fan of this series from the very beginning, but if Vicki's attitude continues to deteriorate like this, I'm concerned about how enjoyable the rest of the series will be. That said, I've been following the series for over a decade, and I'm determined to see it through to the end.
