With her high-tech skill set and warrior mentality, Lash is a master of her own fate as she helps to shield the Las Vegas valley's survivors and protect her younger classmates at a paramilitary school holed up in Luxor on the Las Vegas Strip. After graduation, she'll be alone in fending off the deadly intentions and desires of the school's most powerful opponents. When she's captured by the enemy warlord, she's surprised by two revelations--he's not the monster her headmaster wants her to believe he is, and the one thing she can't safeguard is her own heart. Hammer of the Dogs celebrates the courageousness of a younger generation in the face of authority while exploring the difficult choices a conscionable young woman must make with her back against a blood-spattered wall. It's a story of transformation and maturity, as Lash grapples with her own identity and redefines the glittering Las Vegas that Nevada is known for"-- $c Back cover. 541 $d 20231120. 650 $a Military education $v Fiction. 650 $a Enemies $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Courage $v Fiction. 651 $a Las Vegas (Nev) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240111011235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=568C087AB04F11EEA60D098846ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
