Strikers
Karas Quick has earned everything she has the hard way, even the strike on her neck. Life in the dry lands of Texas isn’t fun for people like her. With no future and no choices, it’s all about survival. Her friends, Cassie and Connor, don’t have it much better, but together they’ve managed to carve out a life. Sort of.
With one eye looking over her shoulder and one on the next meal, Karas lives in constant fear of the authorities, because in Texas there are no prisons. There is only an accounting system as cruel as it is efficient. For each crime, a tattoo is marked on the offender's neck - a strike. Five strikes earns the label of habitual criminal and a quick death sentence.
Already sporting a strike at the age of sixteen doesn’t bode well if Karas is looking for a long life. It should be easy: just avoid breaking the law. Of course, it isn’t that simple. The disadvantaged like Karas can expect more strikes than the wealthy elite. When the guy Karas has crushed on since grade school risks his own strike-free neck to help her when trouble comes, everything goes wrong. Her entire group of friends is put into life and death jeopardy and there’s only one way to survive.
They have to go Striker. They have to escape Texas.
With the authorities on their tail and death the punishment if they’re caught, it’s a race against the elements and the might of Texas. If they survive, the prize is freedom.
