America's 84 Street Boys

In the midst of society's collapse, one young man must defend his home against a violent gang in A. Alico's thrilling new novel, "America's 84 Street Boys."

With the United States government in tatters, society has devolved into bloodshed and mayhem.

Amid the rubble rises a group that calls itself the Favela Kid Gang (FKG). Their motto? If you're not with them, you're against them.

The young Quez Martin, his childhood abruptly torn away from him, must grow up fast if he's to survive in this surreal new world. He and his neighbors on 84th Street in Queens, New York, make the difficult decision to reject the FKG and try to save their neighborhood-or die trying.

In the brutal war that ensues, victories on both sides prove to be short-lived. But just as Quez and his loved ones begin to lose hope, they find help in the form of a mysterious stranger-one who just may hold the key to Quez's, and all of 84th Street's, survival.

The first installment in a planned series, "America's 84 Street Boys" is a breathtaking adventure through a world in which it's every man-and boy-for himself.
