Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A dystopian novel for today. Governcorp has taken over the United States, Broadcasters are ubiquitous and immigrants can't be trusted.Fifteen-year-old Hannah, a new citizen, and thirteen-year-old Jenny, a future safety officer, have nothing in common. But it's Jenny's job to make sure Hannah follows the Governcorp citizenship rulesespecially to carry and use a Protector properly. Having a Protector is supposed to keep you safe, and help you keep others and your community safe.
