Book 1 of 3 In minutes, Dalyn's world has changed. His teacher holds a gun to his head. A girl he digs throws him across the room like a rag doll. A classmate shot, but there is no hole. He is no longer just a student in a dilapidated high school in the harsh dictatorship of Renatus. Dalyn is now being hunted by his own government for what makes him so special, he is 'infected'. 'Infected', a term coined by the government to scare its citizens into turning anyone with symptoms. What the people don't know is that the 'infected' can possess abilities such as faster reflexes or being able to zap people with electricity. The more abilities are used, the faster you go insane... or your head implodes from the inside. The reach and greed of Renatus is endless, and their motives are hidden by propaganda and manipulation. Forced to flee with his friends to escape the grip of the government, the truth about Dalyn's missing father is revealed along with the secret behind the seventy-seven year long tyranny of Renatus. Not everyone makes it to safety, however, as friends and families are captured during their escape attempt. They are being held hostage; destined to be part of twisted experiments to extract data on those who are infected. SKY OF DUST: THE LAST WEAPON is young adult novel with a blend of romance, action, adventure, and science fiction.
