It's so hard to write a non-spoiler summary for the third book in a series without giving away or hinting at what happens in the first two. SO! Don't read this pretty much unless you've read the first two books in this series ha. 
 This entire series up until this book has been pretty "average" to me. I've given each of the books 3 stars but it was still worth reading through them all (I think?).t's no Hunger Games or Divergent series but it was still pretty good. This last book wrapped everything up perfectly together with three, the militia, etc. 
 In this book: 
 Ember and Chase have escaped the inland MM and gotten to the only known Resistance safe zone. Only it's burning down in flames as they arrive and there's nobody alive to tell them what happened. They're on a search for the only person they believe that can help them put a stop to the MM. 
 We get an idea of what's going on outside America which I really enjoyed. They don't necessarily travel outside the US but we're told a story of how Mexico was building walls to keep Americans out and "dumping" them back in Texas when caught. It was a nice twist.

 As they're traveling through the red zone Chase comes across of course his uncle Jesse. At first he attacked him with his gang until he realized it was his nephew. They decide to go on a search for Three seeking help and a new permanent home. 
 At one point Rebecca goes missing and Ember is trapped by wild boys that live in the Red Zone. They're "rescued" though by another group of people who claim to be from another safe zone. The leader of this group being Dr. DeWitt who is also on the run from the MM and a top five most wanted by them along with Ember. He leads them to a community that goes by Endurance. 
 They get a call from Tucker claiming half his team is MIA or dead and every safe house they've found has been cleared by the FBR. I feel like I just used to much article 5 lingo ha. Three is planning a war against the MM and even if it means sacrificing all his men he's willing to take that risk they discover. They take a trip back to the interior and out of the red zone to distribute MM flyers edited to have Embers story of inspiration. She's their Mockingjay. They then come across another resistance group but this one living in the mountains that had more of a "homey" feel about them compared to Endurance camp. The previous president is hiding there waiting for the country to need his help again. 
 As they're making their way back to Endurance they find Tucker being used as bait for the MM. Ember manages to escape but Chase is sadly taken to Charlotte with the MM. Cara who is still alive spoils that Three is about to bomb Charlotte and they better get Chase out fast. On Embers way there she seeks the help from the print and press station but Tucker - gone bad again - has captured her, Marco, and Polo. Tucker confesses that he's the one that burned down Knox and Chicago then helps her escape once the chief is gone. He's really bipolar and I think that he doesn't even know what side he's on. The base ends up blowing up right after Jesse stabs the chief of reformation. It's an all out battle of three's army, prisoners, and civilians versus the MM soldiers. Chase and Ember make it out alive and escape to Tampa where they happily take over the safe house there transporting people to Mexico.
