The journey to Stratton isn't an easy trip, especially when the enemy's headquarters lie somewhere along the way. And that's exactly where Ellie and her friends unwittingly find themselves. With only five of them against hundreds of armed soldiers, escape seems like a suicide mission. But Stratton is where Ellie's grandmother lives, so the journey must be made -- even though the odds aren't good.
Ellie must summon all of her courage and guerrilla instincts to survive the latest high-stakes installment of the action-packed Tomorrow series.

Maybe because they felt so secure they didn’t bother taking many precautions inside the base. That was a lesson to me. Never think you’ve got it covered, no matter how much work

He obviously planned to sneak out there, so I nudged Fi and we followed suit. I cursed myself for not paying better attention. We had nearly been caught. I should treat my life as worth more than that. The problem was that we’d at last reached the outskirts of Stratton. It had been a long time coming, and although I hadn’t wanted to get there
that. It felt very weird in one way, to be doing these things in the middle of a war zone. But in this war there were no rules. We made it up as we went along. The whole thing was surreal, and you had to accept that as early as possible, or you were in trouble. I also started talking more, which probably sounds weird, but with the pressure of Kevin’s problems, and the terror and wild thrills of the airfield attack, we’d all done much less talking. Now, in the relative safety of Grandma’s, we were

I’m just not as good as you or Homer. I’m OK over a short distance.’ ‘So she fell into your arms and violins started playing?’ He shrugged again. ‘Did I mention she was naked?’ ‘No, you didn’t actually.’ ‘Oh. Well she was.’ 177 He was so nervous it would have been funny in a different situation. But I was furiously
