The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is around. But when four cloaked horsemen capture Lugh, Saba's world is shattered, and she embarks on a quest to get him back. <p/>Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the outside world, Saba discovers she is a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. Teamed up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries called the Free Hawks, Saba's unrelenting search for Lugh stages a showdown that will change the course of her own civilization. <p/> <i>Blood Red Road</i> has a searing pace, a poetic writing style, and an epic love story--making Moira Young is one of the most exciting new voices in teen fiction.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>*Young's powerful debut, first in the Dustlands series, is elevated above its now familiar postapocalyptic setting by an intriguing prose style and strong narrative voice that show a distinct Cormac McCarthy vibe. It's a natural for Hunger Games fans. <p/> --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <b>*STAR</b><br><br>"<i>Blood Red Road</i> is an eerie and adventurous dystopian fantasy on par with Suzanne Collins' <i>The Hunger Games</i> and Paolo Bacigalupi's <i>Ship Breaker</i>."--<i>LA Times</i><br><br>"<i>Blood Red Road</i> will capture any reader who picks it up. I love everything about Saba - her language, her intensity, her heart. Everyone should read her story."--James Dashner, author of <i>The Maze Runner</i><br><br>"Better than <i>The Hunger Games</i>. . . . This book will blow you away."--MTV's Hollywood Crush blog<br><br>"I absolutely loved Blood Red Road. What a great read! Moira Young goes over the top with a most engaging heroine. Saba is a crusty, foul-tempered warrior woman who must be covered in scar tissue by the end of the book, but men still follow her around like starving wolves. The dialogue is fast and often humorous, the pace never lets up. No situation is so bad that it can't get worse in the next couple of pages. I especially liked the awakening of the hellwurms as they emerge to feed. Well done, Ms. Young!"--Nancy Farmer, author of <i>The House of the Scorpion</i><br><br>"Is it any surprise that Ridley Scott swiftly optioned the book?"--<i>New York Times Book Review</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Moira Young</b> lives in the UK. <i>Blood Red Road</i> is her debut novel.
