Divided We Fall - Paperback

by Adam Bender (Author)

"Raises interesting questions about the influence of propaganda on the construction of the self, the idea of true tabula rasa and the power of memory ... The central love story propels the narrative energetically." - Publishers Weekly

A dystopian government orders Agent Eve Parker to arrest her fiancé after he becomes a revolutionary known as Seven. When Eve learns more about the President's plan to broaden citizen surveillance, she begins to question if she's on the right side. Meanwhile, a foreign enemy threatens to take advantage of an increasingly divided nation.

The second novel by Adam Bender mixes action and romance into an exciting science fiction adventure. It carries on the tradition of dystopian classics 1984 by George Orwell and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, as well as more recent blockbuster novels like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Divided We Fall is a Library Journal SELF-e selection, and Amazon and Publishers Weekly honored the original manuscript as a quarter-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.

Witness the beginning of Seven's revolution in We, The Watched by Adam Bender.
