Execution (Furnace)
Praise for Escape from Furnace "Fresh and ferocious . . . will hook boys with its gritty, unrelenting surprises." --James Patterson "Furnace is hotter than hell and twice as much fun! Sign me up for a life sentence of Alexander Gordon Smith!" --Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series "Uniquely horrifying." --"Realms of Fantasy" "Gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled." --"School Library Journal" "Breathlessly paced and soaked with blood, mucus, and less savory substances . . . Readers who relish lurid imagery . . . will continue to be riveted and left eager for the next disgust-o-rama episode." --"Booklist" "A thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more. Smith's prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two. Teens who are looking for a great thriller/horror story will definitely want to pick up these novels." --"VOYA" "My biggest success story last year was when a student, a 5th year senior, attended a booktalk and couldn't wait to read "Lockdown". It was the first book he read all the way through in five years of high school." --Librarian, Washington High School, Sioux Falls, SD
