The book I am currently reading is so completely different from the genres I usually read that I feel like I am in a strange land I have never been to before. That seems like an odd statement since I normally read science fiction and fantasy novels (when I am not reading about preparing for the zombie apocalypse). The last time I ventured outside my comfort zone I read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and I spent the entire time crying and ran right back to the monsters and robots that I love. This time the change has not been so dramatic, but I am finding it a very strange place to visit, although I might stay a while.

Roll Call: Book #1 in the Roll Call Trilogy
Gwen Mansfield
4.8 Stars (19 Reviews)
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Teen & Young Adult

FREE for a limited time

In 2067 the asteroid Jurbay severs the continent, amputating 22 western states and submerging them into the Pacific Ocean in the course of a day. Sixteen years later, caught in the 2083 post-apocalyptic world, Avery DeTornada, the 22 year old daughter of great leaders, struggles to step into leadership herself and release her community from the domination of The Third. Avery and her comrades Shaw, McGinty and Pasha operate undercover, working in the city of Reichel within the oppressive government of The Third.

Their undercover status allows them to work quietly, developing covert strategies to assimilate information and pass it on to the others in The 28 United rebellion. Avery and her team have no idea how many of those loyal to the 28 United there are, and without that information it is impossible to move on to the next step of opposing The Third.

In a dystopian society The Third successfully obtains the allegiance of its citizens by removing their memories of family and home, creating a need for misplaced devotion. The Third suspects there may be those inside their ranks that believe in an alternative government based on the outdated workings of democracy. They acknowledge the only way to root out the rebels is to place GEBs (genetically engineered beings) among the workers to uncover those disloyal. The Third secretly replaces chosen citizens with GEBs who collect information and report back to The Third.

Avery discovers two of her own have been replaced, and by purposely getting herself arrested she is able to find and free Shaw and Pasha who join up with her and McGinty. Once The Third discovers the rebels have escaped they become the hunted and flee for Red Grove, the command center of The 28 United. Along the way they collect a ragtag army of dump pickers, library boys and minstrels, coming face to face with the creatures of the dump, the brainswappers of the forest and the effects of the 14 Deadlies. Avery meets Raben, a leader among the dump pickers. Through their intense escape, the danger of rebellion and the growth of The 28 United Raben and Avery find a love for each other, but Avery struggles with letting go of her longtime friend, McGinty and reconciling her feelings for him that have always bordered on more than friendship.
