Books with title Dead City

Derek Stone just turned fourteen. He’s lived in the heart of New Orleans with his dad and older brother, Ronny, his whole life. He’s a little overweight. He can’t hear well out of his left ear. Oh, and he’s on the run from the dead. Derek never imagined that the dead could be anything but dead. But there’s no denying it. They’re back – and they’re after him. He just doesn’t know why. And he doesn’t have long to figure it out.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Flame is a strange kid. And not just because of his name. He was found in a New York alleyway, beat nearly to death, branded and left with no memory of his former life. He’s smart beyond belief, but he avoids technology like the plague. The family he is placed with likes him, except for the daughter, who doesn’t want him in her life. But unfortunately for her, her friends love him. And they want to help him figure out his life. That’s where the trouble begins. Because Flame isn’t from this world. He is from a world where the people use magic instead of science. A world where criminals own the world, and will do anything to stay in control, and suppress the growing rebellion. Flame was a part of this rebellion. In fact, he was the only one the enemy truly feared. And they will do anything to bring him down. This is the story of how six kids and one adult-an FBI agent who gets caught up in their story-will have their lives turned upside down as they go up against old enemies, new enemies, spies and annoying old and new friends. Nothing will ever be the same.
