Legend

Author: Brian Michael Bendis

Set in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, Legend, the first book in the Legend trilogy, tells the story of June, one of the Republic's brightest stars and Day, one its most devious criminals. The Republic, or basically the West Coast, is fighting a war against the Colonies, the East, and at age 10, all of its citizens are tested for their ability to fight in the war. Pampered June is a genius, achieving a perfect score on her test. Day is a wanted criminal, hero of the streets, a post-apocalyptic Robin Hood. When June's brother is killed, Day is blamed. June takes it upon herself to go after him for revenge. What happens next is something neither of them expect. Told in alternating chapters that highlight the similarities between June and Day, the unlikely relationship between these two characters unfolds. Tension is high as the characters face dangers from all sides, including a mysterious plague that keeps rearing its ugly head in the Republic. The story is part mystery, part romance, part coming-of-age story, part dystopian adventure as both June and Day slowly learn the truth about the Republic. Fans of the Han Solo/Princess Leia relationship of Star Wars will love the dynamic between June and Day. Fans of Little Brother and the Hunger Games will flock to Legend because of its dystopian nature. There's a little bit of something in Legend for every sci-fi fan.
