About Saving Raine

Matt, Raine went to California because her parents thought it was safe. It’s not. You’ve got to get her out as soon as possible. She could die, Matt. When 19-year-old Matt Carney gets a cryptic message from his father telling him to go to California and save his girlfriend, Raine, he doesn’t hesitate—he grabs his AK-47, revs up his blue pickup, and gets ready to make the 2,300-mile roadtrip. But cross-country travel in 2021 isn’t easy—or, sometimes, even possible. The U.S. has become a near-military state: 17,000 checkpoints severely restrict interstate movement, Predator drones target innocent civilians without cause, and explosions rock cities daily. Matt and his stepbrother, Benjy, face deadly attacks from a corrupt government, ruthless local law enforcement, and bloodthirsty terrorist groups as they embark on their trek. They’re about to find out that their trip is much more than a private journey, and their success could change the face of the country—forever. Can Matt and Benjy outrun the drone missiles raining down on their heads? Can they avoid assassination by government officials hell-bent on taking over what little is left of the country? Can they outsmart the deadly schemes set in motion against them? Break the rules. Save the girl. He only gets one chance before she’s gone forever. Genre classification: Action/adventure; sci-fi/dystopian

My Review:
This book is a great example of a dystopian novel. USA in the year 2021 is not pretty. There is a lack of food, and pizzas cost five times the amount they do today ($100). There are gadgets and technological advances that I felt as though the computers of today are nothing. I enjoyed the quest to save Raine, and wonder what quests the author has planned for the rest of The Drone Wars Series! I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. a Rafflecopter giveaway
