Heidi has made it part-way through the deadly Savage Run obstacle courses. However, the challenges to come are even more grueling than what she has already struggled through. So far, her gender has not been discovered, but it's only a matter of time before someone realizes she's a girl and has registered for Savage Run illegally. And when that happens, not even Nicholas will be able to protect her from being thrown into jail and possibly executed for breaking the law. As she searches for safety from the storm around her, an unexpected romance flourishes in the midst of all the chaos, but never having learned to trust anyone, Heidi finds it nearly impossible to open her heart. And as the obstacles increase in difficulty and her life is on the line again and again, she is forced to choose between her freedom, her safety, and the ones she loves. ***Important Please be aware that this is a NEW edition and is not a continuation of the original "Savage Run" Book.

A Gripping Tale Typical of EJ Squires' novels she wastes no time in grabbing our attention with the main driver of the story suggested in the first paragraphs: ' Biking up the same mile-and-a-half long asphalt hill is so much harder when I know that at the end of the journey I'll either be an outlaw, or I'll be dead. The quality of the story is excellent on many levels - adventure, gender identity issues, apocalyptic threats, and most of all, as simply brilliant writing. EJ Squires is a growing master of this genre and certainly an author who deserves a very large audience. This futuristic novel by EJ Squires had me thinking about three well-loved fierce heroines of our time - Hua Mulan (Ballad of Mulan) & Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games) and Lisbeth Salander (Girl With Dragon Tattoo). I admit, at first I thought this was another Hunger Games in the making, but I was mistaken when I found myself immersed from the first chapter to the last. Savage Run is a book for all readers.
