If you're looking for a zombie apocalypse novel, this isn't it. The Biters as they're called are dead but a precious few aren't full blown Biters but rather hybrids to whom the other Biters pay homage.  Do the Biters attack and kill - yes. Is the trilogy about that...no it's not.This should be required reading for every American student. What it truly focuses on is the price of freedom and the vigilance required to keep it.  Essentially freedom isn't free and let your guard down for even the blink of an eye and someone is looking to remove that priceless gift.  It is a written warning of conspiracy theories in existence that we're all too afraid to admit the potential truth of.I don't know if I'd read this a second time and thus four stars instead of five. However this, when read for what it truly is cannot be understated. The trilogy is phenomenal. It includes betrayal, power grabs, teamwork, strategic planning and zombies (kind of) but what rang such a deep resonance with me was hope.  Great series and should be on every teacher's required reading list this summer and every year thereafter!
