Monument 14 - Emmy Laybourne


Emmy Laybourne - Dress Your Marines in White 
(Monument 14)


Sólo era un informe de prueba. Como uno de muchos, muchos que había escrito en el pasado. Excepto que esta vez, muchos de los sujetos de prueba estaban muertos


Al principio, el doctor James Cutlass, había pensado que su nuevo trabajo en NORAD era emocionante y lleno de oportunidades, pero eso fue antes de la demostración… 
“Dress Your Marines in White” es la historia de las terroríficas elecciones que rodean una demostración de armas químicas que salió horriblemente mal.


Emmy Laybourne - Monument 14 (Monument 14 #1)

Your mother hollers that you’re going to miss the bus. She can see it coming down the street. You don’t stop and hug her and tell her you love her. You don’t thank her for being a good, kind, patient mother. Of course not—you launch yourself down the stairs and make a run for the corner.

Only, if it’s the last time you’ll ever see your mother, you sort of start to wish you’d stopped and did those things. Maybe even missed the bus.

But the bus was barreling down our street, so I ran.

Fourteen kids. One superstore. A million things that go wrong.

In Emmy Laybourne’s action-packed debut novel, six high school kids (some popular, some not), two eighth graders (one a tech genius), and six little kids trapped together in a chain superstore build a refuge for themselves inside. While outside, a series of escalating disasters, beginning with a monster hailstorm and ending with a chemical weapons spill, seems to be tearing the world—as they know it—apart.
