The Philadelphia of 2118 is no longer a bustling metropolis but instead a completely isolated city recovering from an unknown disaster. Citizens are issued identification tags instead of having names, and society is split between a wealthy, powerful minority and a downtrodden lower class. The position of supreme authority is held by a woman, and once a year she oversees competitions to the death to determine who rules alongside her. When Viola, Terry, and Robert are forced to take part in these strange and deadly games, it will take their combined wits for them to escape this strange world and return home. 650 0 $a Time travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction, American. 700 1 $a Alderman, Naomi, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905042729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=084818769C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
