Oceans apart, a young musician and a “special” soldier embark on a perilous journey for home fueled by the unyielding pursuit of freedom from the Authority.
Sixteen-year-old prodigy, Liza Randusky, waits imprisoned, blamed for the undead plague that’s slowly destroying the planet. Banished to an island where she’ll never play her beloved piano again, Liza’s steadfast sense of justice and passion for music may have the power to change her destiny. But will it be enough…
To strike back at the new world order, the troubled son of a preacher, Thomas Ripley-Hatter, suffers unspeakable alterations by the Underground to join a secret Army. Tommy knows that all hope lies in human-weapons like himself, and that somehow he must cling to his sanity…while letting loose the monster to win.
The battle begins for the last-standing sliver of humanity: Anthem.
**Early Praise for Gods of Anthem**
Have you ever come across a book that crawls inside your soul from page one and obliterates your heart by the end? This book did that to me and so much more.
In Gods of Anthem, Logan Keys’ debut novel, the world has been destroyed and people are still greedy for power. There is so little left in the world and instead of working together, the power hungry and avaricious are in control.
On an island of sick kids, who should be receiving the best treatment possible, they are treated like prisoners.
On the other side of the world, unstoppable monsters are created in order to gain more power.
In the city of Ashes, Anthem, people are stratified into haves and haves not, and strictly controlled. Fed up, they are ready to fight and when a girl comes back from the dead, a fire is lit.
This is not my usual genre and yet, it’s now on my top ten favorite books list. The only issue I had with this book is it ended, leaving me a raw exposed blubbering mess.
I look forward to the next book as this one leaves you pining for more.
