Fugitives: Escape from Furnace 4 Description
Review
Praise for Escape from Furnace:
“Fresh and ferocious . . . Will hook boys with its gritty, unrelenting surprises.” —James Patterson
“Furnace is hotter than hell and twice as much fun! Sign me up for a life sentence of Alexander Gordon Smith!” —Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series
“Uniquely horrifying.” —Realms of Fantasy
“Gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled.” —School Library Journal
“Breathlessly paced and soaked with blood, mucus, and less savory substances. . . . Readers who relish lurid imagery . . . will continue to be riveted and left eager for the next disgust-o-rama episode.” —Booklist
“A thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more. Smith’s prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two. Teens who are looking for a great thriller/horror story will definitely want to pick up these novels.” —VOYA
“My biggest success story last year was when a student, a fifth year senior, attended a booktalk and couldn’t wait to read Lockdown. It was the first book he read all the way through in five years of high school. I was privileged to get the galley from a conference for Solitary and gave it to him. I told him to keep the book—in less than a week he returned it to me in pristine condition and wanted more.” —Librarian, Washington High School, Sioux Falls, SD

They somehow made it past the Warden. They even managed to elude the berserkers. They could see the sky and feel the sun and air on their faces. They had freedom in their sights.
All they had to do was stay hidden and not get caught.
But how could they remain free when there was nowhere to hide? Where could they go when the world was on fire and the enemy was closing in?
And were they really free in the first place when the world outside of Furnace Penitentiary simply felt like an even larger prison with Alfred Furnace calling all the shots?
They may have thought they earned their freedom, but freedom always comes with a price. And the cost may be more than any of them are willing or able to pay.
***
Fugitives is every bit as dark, dangerous, chilling, exciting and brimming with action as each of its predecessors. Author Alexander Gordon Smith has managed to squeeze in what feels like a lifetime of activity into less than one day in the life of his characters, making this one incredibly fast and furious read.
Once again there is no break in the timeline. Fugitives picks up right where Death Sentence left off with the mass exodus at Furnace Penitentiary. But while the inmates may have freed themselves from Furnace, it does not mean they're free.
As the title suggests, they're fugitives. But it's not just the law they have to worry about. Alfred Furnace is coming. He sees this as the perfect opportunity to send out his creations. To test their abilities. To show the world their power. And to get back what's his.
No longer constrained by the world within Furnace Penitentiary's walls, Fugitives introduces readers to new places, new characters and new dangers.
