Nothing was worse than being locked in--until they opened the door...
McKinley High has been a battleground for eighteen months since a virus outbreak led to a military quarantine of the school. When the doors finally open, Will and Lucy will think their nightmare is finished. But they are gravely mistaken.
As a new group of teens enters the school and gains popularity, Will and Lucy join new gangs. An epic party on the quad full of real food and drinks, where kids hook up and actually interact with members of other gangs seemed to signal a new, easier existence. Soon after, though, the world inside McKinley takes a startling turn for the worse, and Will and Lucy will have to fight harder than ever to survive.
"The Saints" brings readers back to the dark and deadly halls of McKinley High and the QUARANTINE series.
*"With its morally dubious characters, charged sexual content, and double-take violence, this might be the darkest series going. Meanwhile, "Lord of the Flies" allusions (the adults' benevolent arrival and, believe it or not, a pig hunt), add further interest. Here's our demand: deliver the conclusion yesterday."--"Booklist," STARRED REVIEW
"This fast-paced novel will, however, appeal to fans of The Hunger Games trilogy."--"VOYA"
"Thomas knows how to write a compelling story with flawed characters and intense situations."--"School Library Journal"
"Also available in hardcover (ISBN: 978-1-60684-336-9) and e-book (ISBN: 978-1-60684-337-6) formats."

Descriere
When an explosion rocks David and Will's suburban high school one morning, a deadly virus is unleashed on the school. The virus only infects teenagers in their peak puberty years, making them lethal to adults and children until they finish adolescence. Within minutes, every faculty member is dead. The military quarantines the building, opening fire on anyone attempting to escape and installing bi-weekly food drops.
After a year of quarantine, with no adults around, the students have created their own society. All of the social cliques have developed into gangs--The Nerds, The Geeks, The Freaks, The Sluts, The Skaters, The Burnouts, The Pretty Ones, and The Varsity--and each gang provides a service with which they can barter for provisions. Without a gang, it's almost impossible to secure food, water, territory, or supplies.
David and Will float just under the radar, until one day David sees his brother's long-time crush, Lucy, about to be attacked by a Varsity jock. Impulsively, he steps in to protect her, and winds up accidentally killing The Varsity member. Suddenly, the whole school is on the lookout for David and Will. How will the brothers survive and what will happen once David no longer carries the virus?
