‘Cody waited fearing the rapid beating of his heart or his loud breathing would give him away’. (page 51)

The story takes place in 2057, in war-torn America under the control of the evil CCR. There are prison camps, which Cody is held captive in. He breaks free and wanders across the desert looking for the rebel camp.

The main characters throughout the book are Cody Pierce, Major Toni McLaughlin, Sidoron and Rachel. Cody is the main character. He is a fourteen-year-old boy also known as the White Fox, who is in a CCR prison camp. Major Toni was captured by the CCR and escaped with Cody to the rebel camp. Sidoron is the leader of the CCR prison camp that Cody escaped from. Rachel is Cody’s friend and she saved his life when they were out in the desert.

There are three parts to this book. Each story follows the journey of Cody from his time in prison and his adventures in returning back to the prison to free the children.

I loved reading this book because it is action packed. It gave me thrills and I couldn’t put it down. The twists and turns of the plot are awesome. It amazes me that a fourteen- year- old boy could show such strength and courage. I never used to read books other than sporting stories but this book has changed my mind, heaps!

I would recommend the book to boys aged thirteen to fourteen, who like action and adventure and like a good thrilling story.
