UnSouled

In book three of the Unwind dystology, Connor and Lev are on the run after the destruction of the Graveyard, but for the first time since that fateful day in Akron, Ohio, they are not just running away from unwinding but running toward answers they hope will make in a difference in the battle against unwinding.  Even though he has taken on the role of revolutionary, he still sometimes longs for the days when he and Risa could be together every day.

Cam, the rewind, has turned against Proactive Citizenry.  He's just biding his time until he can escape and take down the people who made him.  If he can do this, he hopes Risa will take him seriously.

Risa is now hiding from everyone.  The Juvenile Authority and parts pirates have always been a threat, but everyone is against her since her forced public support of unwinding.  No one knows the truth, that she was blackmailed into that support to save the Whollies at the graveyard.  Even while she struggles for survival, she longs to see Connor again, but she fears he died in the graveyard.

Starkey is still at large with his gang of Storks that grows larger every day, and if there's one kid who shouldn't have worship and adoration, it's him.  The more power he gets, the more he craves, and his violent tendencies grow out of control.

As always, Neal Shusterman peppers this exhilarating and disturbing tale with real life news reports that only add to the reader's unease.  This is a fast paced thriller of a tale that takes the story even deeper.  With each revelation, the plot and the conspiracy thickens.  I can't wait for book four!
