Survived
Center City was only the beginning.
With Eli defeated and the survivors of the Battle of Arcadia united, Oscar and the Changed led their people to a new life outside of the city. Then they found the barricades.
For over a year they thought the world had ended, but, fifty miles outside of the city lay the truth. As carriers of the deadliest plague on Earth, they had been quarantined. Corpses of those foolish enough to approach the barriers littered the impassible highway.
Although they had more questions than answers, the former residents of Center City were content to resettle in an abandoned farming community they renamed Salvation. Unfortunately, their newfound peace was short-lived.
Oscar’s people are shocked when the quarantine is breached twice on the same day. Breached by people breaking into, not out of, the quarantined zone. Even stranger, the intruders attack each other on sight, leaving the residents of Salvation with no idea what to make of the situation. They’re immediately pulled into the middle of a power struggle between a garrison of abandoned soldiers and the government shadow operation running the quarantine. Up for grabs is a newly discovered relic, one which has the power to either stop the Sickness for good — or weaponize it. If Oscar and his people don’t tread carefully, they’ll not only be too late to get the powerful artifact, but their entire town will be firebombed into oblivion.
With the clock ticking, Oscar, the Changed, and the people of Salvation, must put together the seemingly disparate pieces of this new puzzle. Are the soldiers to be trusted? Do the people running the quarantine truly want to cure the Sickness? Is Thevetat somehow pulling the strings? Oscar doesn’t know, but if he and his friends don’t move quickly, not only will they lose their new home, but the Sickness could be unleashed upon the rest of the world.

Survived by A. Michael Marsh was a Goodreads giveaway. Survived followed Changed about a group of people who were affected by a strange plague which changed them in ways that have given them different abilities and many have physical changes. They have been confined in a large area with the world being told they all died. As they fight for survival against the outside government who is afraid. As carriers of the plague they are in a quarantined area but then two different people breach the zone, one shooting at the other. The survivors find them self in the middle of a power struggle between the government shadow operation running the quarantine area. They find they are running out of time before they are firebombed. They must find a relic which can stop the sickness for good. Oscar, a young teenager who is one of the changed and a group of other changed must find the relic and find a way to save their community and the whole world. This book does have rough language scattered throughout the book but is a good book.
