About this listen
After a harrowing escape from the SYLO occupied Pemberwick Island, Tucker Pierce and his surviving friends have finally reached the mainland, only to find that no one is left. The once bustling seaport city is deserted.
From the bowels of a Portland hospital where they encounter their first fellow survivor to the abandoned stores they must raid for supplies, Tucker, Tori, and company set off on a quest for answers and, for Tucker, vengeance. But as one highway gives way to the next - and one death-defying escape precedes another - Tucker soon realizes that “trust no one” doesn’t just mean the U.S. military.

Story
They call themselves SYLO and they are a secret branch of the U.S. Navy. SYLO's commander, Captain Granger, informs Pemberwick residents that the island has been hit by a lethal virus and must be quarantined. Tucker believes there’s more to SYLO’s story. He was on the sidelines when the high school running back dropped dead with no warning. He saw the bizarre midnight explosion over the ocean, and the mysterious singing aircraft that travel like shadows through the night sky. He tasted the Ruby - and experienced the powers it gave him - for himself.

There's a place beyond this world, beyond the land of the living, where ghosts go to write their unfinished stories - stories that ended too soon. It's a place for unexplained phenomena: mysteries that have never been solved, spirits that have never been laid to rest. And there's only one way in or out. It's called the Library, and you can get there with a special key. But beware! Don't start a story you can't finish. Because in this library, the stories you can't finish just might finish you.

Story
Everything I’d known about the world was a lie. On my thirteenth birthday, I, Alcatraz Smedry (yes, I got named after a prison, don’t ask), received my inheritance: a bag of sand. And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents’ kitchen. It’s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear! I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it. You’re probably thinking, “Librarians are nice people who recommend good books,” but that’s just what they want you to think!

Meet Karn. He is destined to take over the family farm in Norrøngard. His only problem? He'd rather be playing the board game Thrones and Bones. Enter Thianna. Half human, half frost giantess. She's too tall to blend in with other humans but too short to be taken seriously as a giant. When family intrigues force Karn and Thianna to flee into the wilderness, they have to keep their sense of humor and their wits about them. But survival can be challenging when you're being chased by a 1,500-year-old dragon, an evil uncle, wyverns, and an assortment of trolls and giants.

For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few.

Critic reviews
"A relentlessly fast-paced, intriguing, expertly-written tale that leaves you breathless and satisfied, yet wanting more. Highly recommended." (James Dashner, New York Times best-selling author of the Maze Runner series)
"Absolutely un-put-downable, more exciting than an X-box and roller coaster combined." (Kirkus, starred review)
"If you're a fan of The Maze Runner and Alex Rider, you might want to pick up SYLO... A fast-paced read and a huge cliffhanger." (EW.com)
.............thank you soooo much....I can't wait to read the next book thank you
its was good book. thank you for such a great book

Would you listen to Storm again? Why?
Perhaps with a different narrator.What did you like best about this story?
I love that it's nonstop action from start to finish.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I wasn't thrilled with the voice of the narrator. It was too scratchy or something. I liked him imitation of the non American voices but that's all.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
no.Any additional comments?
The first book in the series, SYLO, introduces us to the main characters and the problems erupting on Pemberwick Island in Maine. It's fast paced from jump and appeals to boys and girls. Its perfect for young teens who aren't quite ready for Divergent type books but might be a tad too old for standard middle grade novels.SYLO
Then comes Storm, book two.
STORM
More non stop action! Plus you get a tour of the US and I learned some things about Nevada and not just that Las Vegas is there. I cannot wait to get my hands on the last book. Trust no one, you hear so often in the book it makes you wonder.
I love that this series is head rushing from start to finish. I listened in my car through my Audible app on the phone so I couldn't wait to get in my car and drive!
More Nonstop Action!

In SYLO, felt that Tucker had a reliable narrator, yes, but not a strong enough character to carry the story and step into the leadership role with his friends. Somewhere in the midst of it all, I forgot he was 1) only fourteen and 2) extremely traumatized. Sees a literal UFO in the sky, idyllic island home invaded by the military and turned into an internment camp, his best friend is killed, his parents turn against him, he's left with "friends" he doesn't really know, surrounded by a bunch of people he can't trust and two branches of the United State Military are duking it out against each other. That's a lot of plot, so sorry McHale, I was wrong.
In Storm, you see this gradual shift of Tucker going from puberty into adulthood. Doesn't matter anymore that he's 14 years of age; he's faced too much to be in his youth. In the beginning of the book, some of the things he does are still childish, but by the end of the book his actions are calculated and purposeful.
When it comes to his companions, I love how each of them doesn't necessarily do anything blatantly suspicious, but all of them could be a Retro infiltrator. I have to admit, I was suspicious of Olivia from the start. She just kept popping up at the right time and her personally shifted. Was she in the end, the bravest of them all as Tucker said or was she playing them from the start? Kent is just an idiotic, egotistical jerk -- or, is he a good actor? He was with Olivia from the beginning and his parents supply of the Ruby was. Even Tori's actions are questionable. With all her anger fueling her, were those little peaks of vulnerability. These characters are well crafted and keep me guessing.
I'm not going to dive deep into the plot, but at the end of this book which leads up to the trilogy's conclusion, I''m asking all the right questions. Who are the Retros and what is there agenda? What is SYLO really? What did Fithe mean he was like them? Those are questions I am really going to enjoy getting answers to.
FINAL THOUGHTS:: As the last words were spoken, a huge grin exploded on my face. Pretty much says it all.
RECOMMENDED FOR:: For those who love science fiction/adventure read.
Excellent! A lot of action & plot well executed.
