This series is great. If you are looking for something to peak a boy's interest in reading this series will probably do it. My brother wouldn't read anything then got hooked on reading this whole series while in high school.
Ryan Cawdor and his friends, surviving in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the continental United States after the bombs fell, discover a hidden community of isolated, xenophobic scientists who seek to perfect even better methods Weapons of Mass Destruction.
