Reclamation

Dark Horse Series, Book 1

By: Kristen Zimmer

Narrated by: Kelly Burke

The United States of America has been gone for over a century.

In its place, The Unified American Territories—a nation divided, the impoverished and the wealthy are separated by a looming steel wall. In the Northern Territories—The Vault, as it is known by its inhabitants—the government rules with an iron fist: All citizens are tested for intelligence and aptitude, thrust into compulsory higher education and saddled with insurmountable debt. Failure to repay their debt consigns borrowers to the Knowledge Reclamation Process, a mysterious government-sanctioned brainwashing program that strips them of their education with dire mental and physical side effects.

Fletcher Daniels is a recent college graduate struggling to stay ahead of her arrears. Enter Youth Opposed to Reclamation, a scrappy band of rebels who try to bring some relief to the people of The Vault by smuggling as many potential Reclaimees to safety as possible. When Fletcher meets and falls for fellow female YOR member, Sparrow, her world is twisted away from the one she once knew even more radically. The group offers Fletcher a chance to escape her fate, but through them, she sees the promise of bringing real change to The Vault. History has taught her that even the smallest rebellions can trigger revolutions. It's time for history to repeat itself.

exciting

This was an exciting story. i loved every minute of this story looking forward to the next story.

A must read...

I've read all of Kristen's books and she knocked it out of the park with this one. Excellent storyline and great characters. The narration top notch. Kept me on the edge of my seat every single word. And let's not mention cliffhangers! Can't wait for book 2.

Story was great

There is a cliffhanger, so be warned. This was a great story. I did have a bit of an issue with the narrator. It seemed like when characters yelled and shouted, the narrator whispered even more. Still, not a deal breaker.
