Unity In Diversity.
The Government built The Walls in order to protect those who lived inside The City.
They remind us daily of how the war ravaged the land once known as The United States of America.
Now we live confined by our social classes, confined by The Walls, and monitored every second of every day.
The Fortunate are everywhere, we are supposed to respect them. After all, they are The Fortunate.
My name is Booker. Booker Caldwell.
I refuse to be confined.
I refuse to be monitored.
I want to be free.

He awakes within the walls, in a place he has never seen. A girl named Adalyn finds him and takes him on an adventure that explores the ins and outs of the world, centered around the city he had protected all of his life: Prevnaar Tribeck. Cato will learn who his parents are, what the city he has protecting is actually like, and what its like to live a normal life in the world after the war-a world that is almost entirely broken to pieces. He will quickly learn one thing above all else: there is no shortage of death in this new world.Complete
