Under Lock and Key: The Zone

As the U.S. teeters on the brink of economic collapse, the harshness of reality rushes in at a hostile pace. Marchessa and her father are severed from the experimental program that woke Marchessa from her comatose state of being, a choice they were forced to make to stop them from imprisoning Spencer for a crime he didn't commit. In the meantime, the grip of government experimentation grows stronger, kept hidden from concern and public scrutiny, secure under lock and key.

Robin Geesman, previously a Respiratory Therapist, moved from California to Louisiana with her sons, and began a writing career; her son's encouraging her along the way. She still lives in Louisiana today, enjoying the storms that offer their menace as a backdrop while she writes stories of madness and cutting-edge progress. This is the second book in the Under Lock and Key trilogy.
