From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9 Her unruly psychic powers make teen-age Ruth an outsider in the close society of Ark Three, but they allow her to receive thoughts from another post-holocaust community on the other side of the mountains. The Arks are domed communities set up when it became evident that America was on the verge of collapse, but, isolated thereafter for centuries, they have diverged greatly. Ark Three is a democracy based on psychic communion, but the Ark Ruth discovers has used technology to create a slave state. Ruth guides an expedition to this Ark and is instrumental in breaking the power of its totalitarian computer. Alienated teenagers who rescue everyone are always attractive protagonists to other teens, and this well-written story will be popular. The contrasting societies are starkly drawn but may stimulate thinking about good intentions producing evil results when those in power decide only they know what's best. This sequel to Devil on My Back (Atheneum, 1985) is not as powerful as Hughes' ``Isis'' books (Atheneum), but is well worth purchase.
