HIVE AWAKENS

THOMAS JOHNSON'S latest novel is the first book in his must-read ESCAPE FROM APIDAE SERIES, a frightening dystopian tale.

Apidae is a perfect land-a pristine hive built with mathematical exactitude and populated by hive units planned for historical human superiority. Every hive unit has ideal health and bodies--they have consistent skin, standardized height, and regulated intellect. Life in Apidae is so precisely elevated that it seems impossible anyone would want to escape. Yet William and Isabelle strive to break free.

When Isabelle is stricken with a sickness the hive will not remedy, William risks everything to obtain the banned medicine that will save her. His task calls him to trek across hundreds of miles of risky hive clusters and pathways to Rock Valley, a small mountain town. He journeys alone and is pursued by the hive's overpowering web of control technology and the infamous Destruction Department chasing him.

William's love for Isabelle drives him onward to the mountains, and he sets their fate permanently in motion. Now the two of them (and their hive friend, David) must flee Apidae entirely. In hot pursuit is Milo-the hive's relentless and brutal enforcer-whose sole purpose is to destroy any hive unit that dares to defy hive justice.

WILL THEY ESCAPE THE HORRIFIC HIVE?

WILL THEY BREAK FREE?
