America is peaceful and back at the top of the world seventy years after the Second Revolutionary War tore through the country and gave birth to Central--the new government. For Lily Sandover the Second Revolution is just another war to learn about in school, until her political father gets promoted into Central and she is taught that everything is not as it appears.
Lily's family soon gets invited into a branch of Central that acts more like an exclusive club called the Commission of the People, and once you're in the Commission, you're in the Commission for life. The Commission of the People is responsible for keeping the peace of America, and Lily soon learns that the peace comes at an extremely high price.
Using her position inside the Commission, and the obsession that the leader of the Commission has for her, she tries to find a way to change the face of America and bring down the Commission of the People.

I was blown away by the first part, but the second part took it to a whole new level. This part was so intense, I couldn't put it down. We are in the middle of another rebellion and anything could happen. I highly encourage you to pick up these books. I can't wait to see what part 3 has to offer. So far my favorite character is Mark. He is just one awesome guy. Do yourself a favor and give this book a chance.
If there was a way to put this book down I wouldn't know it....the depth of the characters and the design of the plot is captivating. Even when I know what's coming it's still making my heart race to read it. The action and emotion are so palpable. I am in this story. Visualization is intense. And the references to "today's" politics and movements and struggles are so realistic. It's almost scary. But I won't stop reading this till the end. Part 3 here I come!
As the wheels grind ever forward toward revolution, the story in this trilogy just keeps getting better. Excellent pacing, fantastic characters, and some surprising twists here and there to keep us guessing.
Wow! This book is so complex and tense and just...wow! I really am surprised at how bold the author was with this storyline. Some of the scenes are difficult to get through because they scenes are dark and disturbing, but I do understand that that is the tone of this book. I understand why the author put so many warnings in the beginning of the book and the descriptions. Please take note of the warnings. Some of these scenes can be quite triggering.
