He?s gotta break outta there. Not only to save his own life, but there?s kindly old Mary and little Jaz to think about. Who?s looking out for them? On the run, with grinks hot on his tail and gravely injured, Blade will have to gather all his strength just to survive. And with nowhere to hide, he needs to run. Because this time, if he plays dead, that?s exactly how he?ll end up. This captivating and suspenseful series never lets up. If A Clockwork Orange were to meet The Outsiders, Blade would be the result. less
