After a few days, it's clear no rescue is coming. Distant military activity in the skies suggests this natural disaster has triggered a political one--and America is under siege.Kirkus called Paul Greci's debut young adult novel The Wild Lands "heart-racing," Booklist called it "heart-thumping suspense for readers who liked Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave," and BCCB compared it to Hatchet.
