Bookroo's summary

Jon Evans lives in a world forever altered by a meteor's impact on the moon. Safe in a guarded enclave due to his soccer skills, he grapples with the haunting loss of loved ones. Every action, from a missed goal to falling in love, could threaten his family’s safety. As he navigates this perilous existence, Jon must decide if he can afford to do what's right when the stakes are life and death. Will he find the courage to protect those he loves in a world where every decision could be their last?

From the publisher

The eagerly awaited addition to the series begun with the New York Times best-seller Life As We Knew It, in which a meteor knocks the moon off its orbit and the world changes forever. It’s been more than two years since Jon Evans and his family left Pennsylvania, hoping to find a safe place to live, yet Jon remains haunted by the deaths of those he loved. His prowess on a soccer field has guaranteed him a home in a well-protected enclave. But Jon is painfully aware that a missed goal, a careless word, even falling in love, can put his life and the lives of his mother, his sister Miranda, and her husband, Alex, in jeopardy. Can Jon risk doing what is right in a world gone so terribly wrong?
