The Capture Audiobook Summary

The Maze Runner meets The Hunger Games in this heart-pounding teen trilogy. This second book in the Prey series is a suspenseful story of courage, survival, and doing what’s right, no matter how hard. Orphaned teens, soon to be hunted for sport, must fight for a better life. Riveting action, intense romance, and gripping emotion make this fast-paced adventure a standout.

Fifteen escaped and found their way to freedom, but Book, Hope, and Cat can’t settle into their new life knowing the rest of the Less Thans and Sisters are still imprisoned. Now the teens must retrace their steps to save the others and thwart the Republic’s dark plans to destroy those deemed different, even as relationships are tested and the path back is filled with danger.

With new enemies lurking, the group must put their fate into the hands of unexpected allies and must ask themselves how far they’re willing to go to free their friends.

The Capture is the exciting sequel to The Prey, which I also really enjoyed.Just so you know what this dystopian world is about, I've copied a bit of my review of The Prey:This is a book about children after a radiation disaster. There are very few adults, at least that we know of. All the children are in camps for orphans. Some camps are nicer than others. Some camps aren't what they seem to be.Hope and Faith are twins and they've been running and hiding for years with their father to keep away from the "brown shirts." After their father dies, they are captured and taken to a camp for girls. It soon becomes obvious that this camp is doing medical experiments on these children, and the prized children are twins.Book is in a camp for boys. He thinks he's in training to be a soldier (they call them LTs, for Lieutenant, right?) He finds out that LT really stands for "less thans." All of the boys in the camp are deformed or deemed inferior in some way, and their future is far more bleak than they think.Hope and Book end up escaping with a small group of other kids. So in The Capture, these two characters and their ragtag group are still running. Their goal is to save all the kids in both camps, the Sisters and the Less Thans. They will, of course, run into many obstacles on their way and face certain death more than once. They also continue to learn about this world and the plans of the devious people who are in charge. I'll just say -- it doesn't look good for the kids.These books, part of The Prey Trilogy, are all about action. It's nonstop and it is constant danger for these characters. There is some relationship building and some shifting of positions within the group, but the action keeps you turning the page.Which is why these are great books to recommend to reluctant readers. A girl and a boy as main characters, both smart and strong. Yes, there's a hint of romance but barely. Some of their narrow escapes, and there are several, are a bit too good to be true--but these are our main characters. And Mr. Isbell, I don't care what you do, but please don't kill them off!I like how The Capture doesn't have a huge cliff hanger ending. We end with the kids in a relatively safe position. They aren't finished saving the world yet, but they've met some of their goals.I will happily continue to recommend The Prey and The Capture to my students and look forward to the third book!

“Avid dystopian fans will anxiously await the next installment. " Truer words have never been written. I have been waiting for the next chapter of Tom Isbell's brilliant Prey series since I finished reading the first book in the series 'The Prey.' I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an “uncorrected proof” copy of the book. I purchased my official copy this morning, and I'm already reading through it again. It’s that good. Boy does Mr. Isbell deliver in this book. The Capture is a fantastic next chapter in The Prey series. It is a non-stop rollercoaster of excitement and thrills. It is riveting, engaging and a page-turner that turns the heat up. Book, Hope, and Cat have decided to turn back and save the remaining Sisters & LT's before it's too late. They are met with more danger and new obstacles than they can imagine on the way back to their respective camps. They are also met with unlikely allies who they aren't sure whether or not can be trusted.Mr. Isbell raised the stakes for this installment and all bets are off. I honestly couldn't put it down. Mr. Isbell knows how to make your heart beat fast and keep you enraptured in his characters world. His way of writing his characters has you feeling all the feels with them and for them. The last 50 or so pages had me in tears. The budding relationship between Hope and Book just kept me wanting to know more. They are such a tumultuous couple and you just are cheering for them to be together even when everything is pulling them apart. I want all the Sisters and LT's to succeed and find the freedom they so desperately deserve. I don't even know what else to say, but I know the conclusion to this series is going to be amazing. Mr. Isbell has built a great rise in this series and now....I want the final book. ;-)He has written a special book. Hopefully after reading this review you will be picking up your very own copy as well. You won't regret it.

Could not put this down! Needed to know what happened next, every step of the way!

Hi everyone, Its Christopher the reader here and the book we are here to talk about tonight is The Capture. This book is the 2nd in the series. I read this book for the first time in February and it took me a day to finish reading. I am now going to talk about some of the book details. It was rated for readers aged 12 and up, and was first published on the 19th of January in 2016. It was told using 1st and 3rd person with it being in Book's and Hope's point of view. The book had 61 chapters. with each chapter being around 5-12 pages long. All together the book had 437 pages which also includes a prologue at the start. - When I was reading this book I was in a reading binge, I read the whole series within a few days. I just couldn't put them down with each of the story. I loved that like with the first story, that this book was also set in parts, which mentioned a title and a famous quote. I liked the action and the funny scenes that the book had, I feel like it helped balance things out a bit. I thought that the character and place detail were good but could have been a little better. I really enjoyed the pacing with this book. I feel like this book explored the camps more and we get more of a feel on how many people they could hold and we also got more information about everything. I loved how much was in this book, it felt like a lot happened within this story. I found this book a bit hard to read at times. I did tear up a little reading this one. Like with the first book I still feel that all of the disabilities in the story could have been explored a little more than it was like with how they affected them, especially because of the conditions they were in within the story. I hope that it mentioned in the 3rd book but I don't think it will. I was happy that we got to read more about the characters again and that we got to meet some new faces in this one as well. I would have liked it a bit more if this book dived in further when meeting the Skull people and discovering more about them and their way of life as I found them interesting and wanted to know more.- I really liked the characters that were on the journey with book, I loved the character development in this book. To me the main's as well as the side characters all felt fully flushed out. Each member of the group, I think had their very own personality. I just think that they were realistic and the other thing that I thought felt realistic was the romance part of the story.-After reading this story I can say that I will definitely be reading the 3rd book in the series. I do hope that we will discover some of the answers to the questions that we as readers have been asking after reading both book 1 and two. I loved that this book was turned into an audible book as personally when I listen and read along I find that I gain a deeper experience with the book. I would like it if it was turned into a TV Show, If it ever does I would definitely go and watch it.For each book that I read, I rate it out of 10, so for this I'm going to give it 9.3. Remember this was what I thought about the book personally and I suggest that you give it a go for yourself.

** spoiler alert ** I’ve been listening to this on audible. It’s a good post apocalyptic dystopian tale. The story continues for Book, Hope and the gang after the conclusion of Prey. They are now on a mission more dangerous than the escape that they have already accomplished. The anticipation of whether Book and Hope can finally figure out what they are feeling for each other keeps the chapters rolling along. The spoiler was for Prey.

After Book, Cat, and Hope lead the LT's and the Sisters to The New Territory, Book decides to return to free the rest of the LT's. With help from Cat, Hope, and a few others they make their way back to Camp Liberty but this time they face Crazies, Brown Shirts, and a few other surprises along the way.This book introduces a brand new love triangle, along with new twists and betrayals. This book is just as action-packed as the Prey but unfortunately, Hope was also just as annoying!

At first I was hesitant to read this trilogy, but after reading The Prey and The Capture I can fully admit I'm in love with these books so far. I relate to the character book more then I expected too.

Nail bitting, edge of the seat, page turning, can’t read fast enough all the way through. I loooooved it. The best part was the background of some of the characters and how their friendships grew and dissolved. And the ending amazing. Good job Tom well done. Bravo.

So glad I discovered this author. I really enjoy his books. Although intended for teens, the books are entertaining and the characters well developed. I plan on starting the third book in this series as soon as possible.

This book is full of twists and turns, the author makes decisions with the characters and plot that nobody would expect. I really loved the development of Cat, as well as the conflict inside of the group, which leads to many of the other conflicts Hope and Book find themselves in.
