Anchored

Knockdown #3

by Brenda Beem

The stakes have never been higher for Toni and the crew of Whistler. The sky remains dark, the north is still frozen, and refugees stream into southern states. Food, water, and fuel supplies have dwindled. The teens have been sailing to Mexico to reunite with their families, but Mexico has closed its borders.

Whistler sails into San Diego Harbor. Crude oil covers the bay. Bodies float in the murky water. Danger lurks in every crashed plane, sunken ship, and battered marina. Toni, Takumi, and Nick leave Whistler and go ashore to find Toni’s parents, but the roads are blocked by abandoned cars and violent gangs roam freely.

How will Toni and Whistler’s crew survive and locate their families? Can Toni and Takumi’s young love last? Are Zoe and Dylan really going to have a baby?

Anchored is the exciting conclusion to the Knockdown Trilogy.

It's finally here! I've been anxiously awaiting the conclusion to the Knockdown series. I can honestly say that this did not disappoint. As action-packed as the first two books, Anchored has it all: danger, romance, fear, and hope. Toni and the crew split up for part of the book--one group stays with the sailboat Whistler, the other goes ashore to search for their families. I don't want to give away the ending, so I'll just say that my heart was racing while I flipped through the pages, needing to find out how it would end. I highly recommend this series.

Great conclusion to the series

Book three of the series was an exceptional ending to the first two novels. It made you hope for book four to continue the saga. This series would be great in movie format -we can only wish!

Farther down the coast of California, the teens find anchorage for Whistler. As seasoned sailors and having survived attempts on their lives, they are leery of strangers and survivor groups. And so, they should be. When they find a large camp of survivors being helped by the military, they have guarded hope, for there too, trouble lurks. The whereabouts of Toni’s and Dylan’s parents are still vague and two members in the group need to be dropped off in Mexico, which has closed its borders to the U.S. What more can go wrong? The author finds plenty. Sixteen-year-old Toni also finds her voice in this finale. What more can I say? The series is awesome, the research amazing. I learned a lot about the havoc of volcanic activity in Indonesia and its potential.
