Christopher und Serenity sind im Hide Out zum Nichtstun verdammt. Während die Kohärenz ihre Fäden immer dichter spinnt, verlieren sie jeden Mut. Als dann auch noch mit viel Werbeaufwand der Lifehook eingeführt wird - mit dem die Menschen fast ohne Aufwand gedanklich kommunizieren können - ahnt Christopher, dass die Kohärenz zum alles entscheidenden Schlag ausgeholt hat. Doch dann hat er eine Idee, wo die Schwachstelle des globalen Netzwerkes liegen könnte.

After an accident on his way home from school, 17-year-old Joe Harding is locked out of his house. A stranger, who appears to own Joe's house, warns him to escape. Huge bells on rooftops ring out, and Joe is chased out of town by a band of citizens determined to kill him. He escapes, and after surviving alone in an England that is wild and uncultivated, joins a small band of young people in hiding. He is in a parallel world in which he wants to remain, but fate has other things in store for him.

Parvin Blackwater wanted to die, but now she's being called to be a leader. The only problem is no one wants to follow. The Council uses Jude's Clock-matching invention to force "new-and-improved" Clocks on the public. Those who can't afford one are packed into boxcars like cattle and used for the Council's purposes. Parvin and Hawke find themselves on a cargo ship of Radicals headed out to sea. What will the Council do to them? And why are people suddenly dying before their Clocks have zeroed-out?

Parvin Blackwater is dead. At least that's what the Council and the world thinks. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. Now she will rise again. Strong, free, and fearless. Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Can a one-handed radical and a scarred ex-enforcer really bring shalom to the world?
