Underground in the Underdown Christopher Schotz

A tide rolls north, the Solution in its wake. This is the mission of a battalion of snakes, young draftees, really just boys. There are stoic snakes and sadistic snakes, all at the mercy of the man who never gets lost. The North has young warriors too, a collection of war orphans known as hill dogs. This band of back country boys survive the wilderness with a feisty young lady. They engage in their own form of resistance, acts of sabotage that force the snakes to guard every worthless bridge. They convince the snakes that even the forests have turned against them and ferocious beasts are lurking everywhere. It is these invisible young shepherds who lurk underground, ready to guide a refugee to safety. They bear incredible stories of narrow escapes. Together they learn the horrific secret hiding on the hill, and they launch a plan of rescue and resistance. When snakes and hill dogs tangle, which will see their master's lies unravel? There is only one Solution.
