(YA F Smit)
273 pages 2009 Science Fiction
Convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, Alex, age 14, has just been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in Furnace, an ultra-secure penitentiary located a mile beneath the earth’s surface. As if being locked up forever isn’t bad enough, Alex must also deal with the strange inhuman creatures that prowl the cell blocks at night, occasionally dragging screaming inmates out of their cells to a fate worse than death. The possibility of escape gives him hope, but will he be able to pull it off before the creatures come for him? (Grades 6 & up)
