Have had this book for quite a while now, and was holding off from reading it because it sounded great and I was saving it for when I needed a blockbuster. Unfortunately, it wasn't everything that I hoped it would be. The story is set in the future when these huge pillers (Icons) have buried themselves into the Earth and have the ability to give off a pulse that disrupts and kills everything within a very huge radius. On The Day, the Icons emit their blast, everyone dies and those who live far enough from the blast become servants to the aliens who have brought the Icons and control them. There are a few children who just might be the saviors of the Earth, because they possess some qualities that might be able to overpower the Icons.
I found it really slow to get going and a bit confusing to follow. I would only recommend it to really decent YA readers.
