The world was not ready for what happened. And in the mountains and valleys of Virginia, a group of young friends wondered what to do in this different world. Their parents and older siblings were taken away, or "disappeared," and have not been seen since that fateful day. Schools were destroyed, churches burned, and books banned. There was no fuel or electricity available for anyone. Cars and other vehicles no longer worked and were found abandoned beside the roads rusting and in disrepair. Only the World Force military had fuel and vehicles.

The discovery of books, documents, tools, clues, and other teens hiding in the countryside brought hope to the group of friends who met daily deep in a cavern. But now, additional dangers are closing in. As the Underground Book Readers increase in number, they learn of new threats. It will now be more important than ever to plan an escape. A new law threatens to place some of the members in military service. Can they remain safe? Can they escape? Follow the adventures of the Underground Book Readers in book four, The Escape.
