Tighter Prose Makes Cured Stand Out From Its Fellows
For those who do not qualify for life inside the safety of the wall, life is tough. Rabid Fecs still roam the land, as do violent raiders. People kill for any scrap of food they can find. Women are an especially hot commodity in this dead, post-apocalyptic version of Denver. Not that it matters—17-year-old Jacqui "Jack" Bloom stopped being a girl (at least on the outside) a long time ago. It's safer that way. Fashion makeovers and trips to the mall belong to a different world; her only concern in this one is helping her brothers keep the family's home safe. With her rifle in hand, she spends hours on the roof, scanning the horizon for any hint of trouble.Because she's so needed at home, Jacqui feels a little—okay, a lot—guilty for stealing away in the early hours of the morning. But, she's got to find her older brother, Dean, who's been missing for a year and a half. They haven't heard a word from him, so although Jacqui fears the worst, she also hopes for the best. Because Dean left to escort a former neighbor to a rumored safe haven in Wyoming, Jacqui goes to her daughter for help. Fiona Tarsis, now living inside the wall, brings along two others—her boyfriend, Bowen, and her brother, Jonah. Cradled in Jonah's backpack are bottles of bee flu antidote, precious bargaining chips. But when they're stolen, the group is left with few advantages.
