Scythe

I en verden, hvor sygdom, krig og kriminialitet er blevet udryddet, er det er ikke længere muligt at dø naturligt. Den eneste måde at dø på er ved at blive 'høstet' af de le-bærende Scythes, hvis arbejde det er myrde tilfældige folk for at holde befolkningstallet nede. Teenagerne Citra og Rowan er blevet udvalgt til at være lærlinge hos professionelle Scythes, selvom de intet ønsker at have at gøre med kunsten at dræbe. I "Scythe" kastes Citra og Rowan ud i det dybt korrupte samfund af Scythes, hvor kun én af dem vil blive udvalgt som den sande lærling - og den anden kan risikere at miste livet. "Scythe" er første bind i Neal Shustermans dystopiske ungdomsserie "Arc of a Scythe". Neal Shusterman er bl.a. kendt for sin 'dystologi' "Unwind".
