Born and raised in Flood City, Max doesn't care about being part of either group. All he wants is to play his music with the city band, keep his sister from joining the Star Guard, and be noticed by his crush, the awesome drummer Djinna. Meanwhile, Ato, a young Chemical Baron, has joined his crew for what was supposed to be a routine surveillance mission, only things go from bad to worse between unexplained iguanagull attacks and the discovery of deadly schemes.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Older conjures a postapocalyptic world packed with danger, excitement, and memorable concepts…This is a fun, adventure-filled read.” Publishers Weekly
“[In] this action-packed audiobook..Williams’s distinct voices ensure that shifts in point of view are smooth, and her curious and youthful tone mixed with an intensifying pace keeps listeners on edge as enemies collide and deadly schemes come to light. Narrator P. J. Ochlan delivers articles from the Flood City Gazette with deadpan humor.” AudioFile
