When your job is to venture out into the radiation-soaked Fringe, you learn not to get attached to anyone. Harper Riley should be no different, but she’s gotten under Eli’s skin. She’s started asking lots of questions — dangerous questions with no good answers. Eli wants to save her despite his better judgment. But can Eli save her from herself?If you love kickass heroines, tormented heroes, blistering action, and steamy romance, you’ll love this nonstop dystopian adventure.The Collection Includes:Recon (Book One)Exposure (Book Two)Outbreak (Book Three)What readers are saying:"This is one of the best dystopian series I have ever read, and it is most definitely a series you can reread. This series is a must-read for dystopian lovers.""The world within the compound and the particular threats faced by the main characters feel so authentic, that when the suspense ratchets up (and it does), the pages practically turn themselves. The slow-burning chemistry between the cadet and the vet is electrifying.""A heroine with attitude and a hero who is more than a match for her...Harper and Eli are great characters." "Honestly, I cannot stress too strongly how much I loved this book...I read one last night (finished about 5 a.m.) and read the other today — both times straight through because I could not put them down."The Fringe is perfect for grown-up fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games who want a series they can binge!
