Kidnapped on her way home from a summer festival in her corn-country hamlet of Eudora, Kansas, 16-year-old Blythe Hallowell spends the next two decades of her life in an abandoned Cold War-era missile silo, dozens of feet underground.  Her abductor, high-school librarian Dobbs Hordin, is a “conspiracy theory du jour” survivalist who has chosen Blythe to play Eve to his Adam when the apocalypse comes.  Having outfitted the silo with all the building blocks for a new civilization, Blythe and Dobbs are left to play a deadly and protracted waiting game as one scenario for annihilation after another fails to occur.  And then one day, well into middle age and accompanied by the teenage son she bore while in captivity, Blythe manages to escape her insane captor’s grasp, only to find that one of Dobbs’ worst-case predictions has actually come to pass.  Morley crafts a menacingly sinister tale of imprisonment and eerily inventive story of survival that will appeal to fans of riveting psychological suspense and cut-throat dystopian fiction. --Carol Haggas
