The Informers

The struggle against an all-powerful government censorship agency continues in the thrilling sequel to The Stringers In the first book, Roy Farrington seemed prepared for a life as a licensed journalist, but is thrust into the violent world of illegal newspaper gangs that control a post-earthquake Seattle after his father is mysteriously arrested by authorities. In The Informers, he continues the search for his imprisoned father and quickly rises in the ranks of his newspaper, even as he maintains an uneasy alliance with his old friend Casey Novak, now a federal censorship officer. That all changes when a news story nearly turns into Roy's obituary, and he quietly suspects associates within his own organization. A game of cat and mouse begins as he attempts to flush out his unknown adversary. Following a desperate prison-break effort to free his father, Roy is forced to confront the full horrors of government infiltration and subversion within the Emerald City. A gang-style war develops among both the Seattle newspapers and the feds as friendships are shattered, unlikely alliances are formed, and the true enemy is never known until the final shot is fired - and the last word typed. Laced with contemporary political themes and chock-full of non-stop action, The Informers is a must-read dystopian tale that never lets up until the stunning, climatic finale.
