After being captured and surgically transformed into a "special," teenaged Tally Youngblood, now a government agent programmed to protect society from outside threats, is ordered to eliminate the rebel colony New Smoke, Tally's former home.
l gave this book three stars mainly because most of the book I was rolling. my eyes at Tally. I think out of all the books so far she's been more naive in this one. I didn't like it that Zane died. and I think it was a little creepy that Dr. Cable helped Tally escape. But I do think its good that Tally has chosen her own life path and has chosen to be the "wilds" protecter, and that it ended with her and David being friends.
