The Loop

Luka Kane has spent 736 days in the Loop, a juvenile facility for death-row inmates, waiting out a wrongful conviction. When the warden urges him to break out, Luka discovers the outside world has changed beyond recognition — strange biological experiments, societal collapse, and a conspiracy tied to his own imprisonment. To save the people he loves, Luka has to uncover who's really responsible for the disaster unfolding beyond the Loop's walls.

Ben Oliver opens this YA dystopian trilogy with a claustrophobic prison thriller that widens into a much larger science-fiction conspiracy once Luka finally gets outside.
