In this third installment of the PULSE EFFEX SERIES, foreign soldiers and fellow Americans gone rogue are just the beginning of what Andrea, Lexie and Sarah must face. Beneath the threat of nuclear strikes and guerrilla armies, the girls long for a free country in which to live--and love. Survival means resistance must give way to defiance. But can ordinary teens and their families withstand powerful forces and keep hope alive?EDITORIAL REVIEW: Ms. Burkard is to be commended for her amazing storytelling - and for portraying how God strengthens his people and gives hope in the darkest hour. In Defiance, the riveting story continues with even greater urgency as the characters face ever-increasing challenges in their struggle to survive the aftermath of the EMP. Whether or not one agrees with the characters' choices and actions, this story will get readers squarely into the action. The series is a clarion call to be both spiritually and physically ready for whatever may come! ANGELA L.
