The Rule of Three
by Eric Walters
Soon — as resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos descends — he will see his suburban neighborhood band together for protection. And Adam will understand that having a police captain for a mother and a retired government spy living next door are not just the facts of his life but the keys to his survival.
REVIEWS...
"There's no zombie plague or nuclear war — a computer virus destroys modern technology, and people do the rest [...] The detailed content is more than worth it, capturing the nitty-gritty of rebuilding — and defending — civilization." --Kirkus Reviews
"Rule of Three maintains a realistic and frightening look at what happens when technology is lost and modern society begins to fall apart." --School Library Journal
"A solid fit for fans of Pfeffer's Life As We Knew It, this disaster-survival story will also please readers who just enjoy watching teens take the lead." --BCCB (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
"A fantastic, compelling, unforgettable book! Its simple premise — what if one day all modern technology stopped working — becomes a blisteringly fast tale of survival in a world gone to hell [...] This book makes The Walking Dead look like a walk in the park, because the monsters howling outside your gates aren't the undead but your friends, your fellow students, your co-workers." —Alexander Gordon Smith, author of the Escape from Furnace series
