Perfect for fans of James Dashner's The Maze Runner, Feedback is the heart-stopping sequel to Variant--which Pittacus Lore, author of I Am Number Four, praised as "an intense journey with some of the most shocking twists and turns I've ever read."
Benson Fisher escaped from Maxfield Academy's deadly rules and brutal gangs. He thought that the worst was over.
But now Benson is trapped in a different kind of prison--a town filled with familiar faces. Classmates from Maxfield who Benson had seen die. Friends he was afraid he had killed.
They are all pawns in the school's twisted experiment, held captive and controlled by an unseen force. And while Benson struggles to figure out who, if anyone, can be trusted, he discovers that Maxfield Academy's plans are darker than anything he imagined--and they may be impossible to stop.
- A Deadly Boarding School Experiment: Maxfield Academy wasn't the end. Benson discovers the school is just one part of a much larger, more sinister plan.
- Android Duplicates: The town is full of the human originals of the androids Benson fought at school. But are they allies, or just another part of the trap?
- High-Stakes Survival: With his friend Becky bleeding out and unseen enemies hunting him, Benson is in a race against time to uncover the truth before they're both silenced for good.
- Shocking Twists and Turns: In a world where friends can be enemies and the dead can walk, every revelation only deepens the conspiracy controlling their lives.

Review :
"Benson's account unfolds in a speedy, unadorned first person.
