This time, his punishment will be much worse than before. <p/>Because in the hidden, bloodstained laboratories beneath the prison, he will be made into a monster.

Recommended for dystopia, thriller, and horror fans, or anyone looking for a fast-paced, spine-chilling ride." --<i>Jennifer Robinson's Bookpage</i> <p/>"Readers will be turning pages without pause, and the cliff-hanger ending will have them anticipating the next installment.

Teens will appreciate Smith's vivid imagery. His writing is extremely fluid, and he makes the reader feel for the characters, especially the young protagonist, Alex. Readers will be cheering him on from start to finish. Look for the sequel, Solitary, forthcoming in 2010. Readers will be anxious to see where Alex's adventures take him next." --<i>VOYA</i> <p/>"Not for the faint-hearted, this dramatic British import is both a page- and stomach-turner. . .
