*Breaker* New Young Adult/ Science Fiction

[JJ Sharpe]

If you want a future, you have to roll the dice with the present.

That’s what they say at least.

Sixteen-year-old Hobbes is rolling the dice. With a father gone to
the Old War and a mother lost in the bottom of a bottle, he takes a
chance for a better future by volunteering to join Echo Citadel. In
exchange for an education, shelter, and maybe a little adventure, he
raises his hand to become a Breaker, to pick up a hammer and fight for
his community.

For as long as anyone can remember, mysterious creatures have been
collapsing the human skyline, families and homes disappearing into the
depths of the earth one sinkhole at a time. As the subterranean
creatures, known as Diggers, continue to destroy the town of Kutter,
the government trains and arms its youth to fight the creatures.
Hobbes and his new teammates at Echo Citadel, armed only with hammers
and flame, are sent into the dark tunnels of earth to stem the
unrelenting tide. Below the surface, Hobbes’ dreams of glory and
adventure quickly vanish as he and his team struggle to just stay
alive.

To make matters worse, not everyone see the Diggers as a plague. A
community of zealots, living on the outskirts, worship the creatures as the
gods' way of righteously cleansing the earth. When one shows up at
the Citadel, the chaos in Hobbes' life gets more complicated. Dark
eyes and a beautiful smile, she elicits Hobbes' help to find her
missing brother, a Pro Digger who disappeared in the tunnels. As
questions are asked and secrets revealed, Hobbes discovers the
deadliest creatures at Echo Citadel may not be Diggers after all.
