One of the best youth dystopian novels on the market. 
 Mari Lu is going to give us one great ride when this is all said and done,a trilogy of course. Written from the pov of two characters we see a future fractured USA that is dominated by the reminants of the old republic in the east and a fascist government, masquerading as a republic, in the west. Day is California's most wanted criminal, but when he breaks into a major hospital for plague meds a detective is killed and a young recruit its brought in to get him. June, the young recruit, then goes undercover into the poor sections of the city to find Day and capture him, revenge is her motivation. Their opposing po. and young views off the world provide some of the best narratives written in a dystopian future USA. 
 If you can listen to the audio version, it makes for great fun and comes in at just under 9 hours.
