"I celebrated my sixteenth birthday by crashing a plane, fighting for my life and facing execution. Again." Lee Keegan travels to Iraq on the trail of his missing father, only to find himself caught between desperate rebels and a general who wants to strap him into an electric chair. In England, Jane Crowther, one time matron of St Mark's School for Boys, attracts the wrong kind of attention and has to fight to protect her new school from unlikely enemies. And in a bunker underneath Washington, a madman issues orders that will tip two devastated countries into total war. This is the first year of St. Mark's School for Boys and Girls - will there be a second?

One of the best in series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Glad to see the Matron return - although some of the action was completely unbelievable (seriously, no one could survive some of the scenarios put forth). This was my second favorite of the series (after SCHOOL'S OUT). Again, I will leave the summarizing of the book to others. Am not sure why some people spend three pages describing a leisure book one can read in a day. Anyway, it was worth the price and a nice diversion for a gloomy winter day.
The Tale of the Matron Continues
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is the sequel to an earlier book in this series called School's Out. The story takes up with the adventures of Lee the young antagonist of the previous novel. He is on a journey to find his father who was in the military. The matron is also back with her students of this boarding school in England. They battle crazy military, crazy people in biocontamination suits, and a very unbalanced General. I feel like these stories are a guilty pleasure for me. This was by far one of the best books of the Afterblight Series.
