We, The Watched - Paperback

by Adam Bender (Author)

"A deeply allegorical and powerfully thought-provoking dystopian must-read." --Kirkus Reviews

An amnesiac wakes in a forest outside the capital of a nation he doesn't recognize. Calling himself Seven, he struggles to conform in a surveillance society where the government keeps a Watched list of its own citizens.

When Seven enters the city, he discovers a nation with no separation between Church and State. Those who rebel are called Heretics and face execution. The amnesiac's blank-slate perspective lets him see through the government's propaganda, but soon attracts the eyes of the Guard.

The debut novel by Adam Bender exposes a current political issue in an exciting science fiction adventure, carrying 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.
