Annotation:
Four Teenagers, known as the "Trinity Falls Four" have survived a biological attack masterminded by a group of terrorists known as Shadow Strike, headed by the mysterious leader known only as "Omar".
The teens are sent to a remote mansion in New Jersey for 24 hour medical care and supervision. As the teens struggle to deal with their potentially fatal disease, it becomes clear that Shadow Strike is still very much a threat to National Security. Even more, they are determined to finish what they began with the Trinity Falls victims.
Book Talk:
Terrorism. Every day since 9/11, people have wondered "will it ever happen again"?
In the book Fire Will Fall, we see the aftermath of a world where a bio-terror attack has already happened. In the first book in the series, the water of Trinity Falls, New Jersey had been poisoned by a shadowy terror group known as Shadow Strike. The water was poisoned with a mysterious bio-chemical agent known only as Q-3.
Four teenagers: Scott, Cora, Rain, and Owen survived the attack and are recuperating in a remote mansion where they have access to round the clock medical care and protection. As the teenagers struggle to survive the potentially fatal antigen, they also struggle to deal with their identities. Forced to spend time alone and with only each other for company, each person struggles to find out exactly who they are and what they want out of life.
As the teenagers live in the relative safety of the mansion, we find out more about the other two teens from the first book. Shahzad and Tyler were the virtual spies (v-spies) who first cracked the computer codes and found out what was going on in Trinity Falls. They were also attacked by Shadow Strike, but with a disease called Tularemia. Tyler and Shahzad struggle to survive and stay hidden in Tyler's house as they search the internet for more information on their enemies.
However, no one is as safe as they seem. Tyler and Shahzad track Shadow Strike as they prepare to make a deadly move against an amusement park and the Trinity Four. Even as the boys attempt to send information to let the Trinity Four know they are in danger, Shadow Strike comes knocking at their front door.
Will anyone survive the attacks in this fast paced race against time?
Reviewer's Note: This book picks up where the book Streams of Babel left off. While this is a stand - alone story, readers will enjoy going back to Streams of Babel to find the back stories of all the main characters.
