Back-of-Book Summary:
The Remnants have decided that they've had too much fighting. Too many battles. They want to try to find a way to make peace. But the Blue Meanies have something else on their minds. They've invented an incredibly horrifying new weapon. And it's obvious they plan on using it.
The Blue Meanies are not Jobs and the others' only problem. There is a stranger among them. No one knows who or *what* he is, but everyone is being very careful. Especially Violet -- who has a secret that might be the key to where the Remnants will go from here. If they go anywhere at all. . . .
