Convicted of a murder he didn't commit, sentenced to life without parole, "new fish" Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world.
Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below.
And behind everything is the mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as cruel and dangerous as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison. Together with a bunch of inmates—some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold-blooded killers—Alex plans an escape.
But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace's deeper, darker purpose, Alex's actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that's hidden from the eyes of the world.
Forever altered by his experience in Furnace Penetentiary, Alex has done the impossible and escaped. But the battle for freedom is only just beginning. Charged with his superhuman abilities, Alex must uncover the last of Furnace's secrets—the truth about the man who built the prison, the man known as Alfred Furnace. And to do that he must stop running and finally confront his greatest fears.
Alex Sawyer and his mates should have known there was no way out of Furnace Penitentiary. Their escape attempt only lands them deeper in the guts of this prison for young offenders, and then into solitary confinement. And that's where a whole new struggle begins—a struggle not to let the hellish conditions overwhelm them. Because before another escape attempt is even possible, they must first survive the nightmare that now haunts their endless nights.
In the adrenalin-fueled five-book Escape from Furnace series—full of action, adventure, and mystery—Alex Sawyer seeks to break free of a hellish underground penitentiary for teenage offenders.
Also included is the companion short story, The Night Children. Alex Sawyer has escaped his underground nightmare to discover the whole world has become a prison, and Alfred Furnace is its master. Monsters rule the streets, leaving nothing but murder in their wake. Those who do not die become slaves to Furnace's reign of cruelty. Alex is a monster too. He is the only one who can stop Furnace but in doing so he could destroy everything.
Is he the executed or the executioner? Who will die? All Alex knows is that one way or another, it all ends now. Alex's second attempt to break out of Furnace Penitentiary failed. This time, his punishment will be much worse than before.
Because in the hidden, bloodstained laboratories beneath the prison, he will be made into a monster. As the warden pumps something evil into his veins--a sinisterly dark nectar--Alex becomes what he most fears. How can he escape when the darkness is inside him? How can he lead the way to freedom if he is lost to himself?
It is December and Europe is still gripped by war. In the densely forested mountains of Belgium one of the conflict's most brutal battles is raging. Cut off from the front, a ragtag group of young British and American soldiers finds itself being hunted by a patrol of elite German Special Forces, including a newly commissioned officer called Kreuz—a teenage boy who will grow up to become Warden Cross the fearsome prison director who will one day rule Furnace Penitentiary, the terrifying underground prison specially built for teen offenders.
As both sides fight for their lives in the unforgiving terrain, however, they start to realize that there are worse things hiding in the snow than soldiers.
There are creatures out there with gas masks and piggy eyes ancestors of Furnace prison's "wheezers" —demonic entities that cannot be killed by guns and grenades, monsters who do not care what uniforms their victims are wearing so long as they bleed, and so long as they scream. The gripping third instalment in Alexander Gordon Smith's epic series about Furnace, a terrifying underground prison for teenagers - now with the bestselling US cover.
We had one last shot at freedom and we failed. This time our punishment will be much worse than before, because in the bloodstained laboratories beneath Furnace lies the horrific truth behind the warden's plans. Down here, monsters are made. I'm changing - something evil is being pumped into my veins.
The humbleness of the narrator came off as false. Other books by Horror. Revenge of the Witch. The Spooks Apprentice. T Wave. Vida Nocturna. Christmas Shopping. The Girl in the Basement. Other books by Escape From Furnace. Death Sentence. The shine of this world has worn off and the characters and plot are not enough to make me stick around to see more.
I'm going to drop the series. Not recommended. What I LikedIntense This book is intense, Alex deals with the loss of hope and the possibility of never getting out of the hell hole that is Furnace. At a few points he does hit rock bottom and you completely feel sorry for this kid that deserves to be in prison, but not in Furnace. Alex is on an emotional roller coaster ride of the loss of hope and the light of hope. He has worked his way into being the provider of hope for other kids, what a heavy burden.
The FurnaceMaybe the place isn't at sealed up as the inmates are lead to believe. A few more potential escape routes are discovered by Alex, he is one handy kids to have around when you need to escape from an inescapable place. A New NastyThe Blacksuites, Wheezers, the Warden, the dogs and now these mutant rat things that can chew through anything.
These disgusting things must be avoided at all costs, they are gross and scary and with the revelation of what they use to be is even worse. EndingOh my goodness, I can't believe it ended like that, so close yet so far away. I can't wait to start reading the next book. DistractedDirtyI got distracted by being grossed out by how filthy everything in solitary is. Licking the walls to get some water, having a hole to squat over with nothing to wipe with, searching for bits of slop on the floor near the squat hole, no showers or washing hands.
I love my soap even more after reading this book. Recommendation This is book 2 in the series, got to read this series. This book is complete popcorn. I am apparently in the mood for popcorn. It doesn't add much in the way of story from the first book except Simon but I still tore through it.
The waiting can be a little over the top sometimes. I didn't really care. I felt like I was reading an old movie serial, only it's a horror story. Fast, moody, and full of nasty. I look forward to the next book. I love this series!
This book is the second installment and Alex is stuck in Solitary. It was different from the first, yet still worked nicely. I thought it was very well done because I found myself trying to guess what would happen next and I was always unable to. Kept me on my toes as I was wondering at the beginning just how Smith would make this book action packed when it is taking place in solitary confinement. I liked that this book dove more in to the psychological aspect of what was happening to Alex as well.
In all, very well done filler book and I can't wait for the final chapter and what will happen to these characters. LOVE this series. This installment didn't grab me the way the 1st book did but it was still a book that once I started I couldn't stop reading. Smith did a fairly good job of refreshing your memory on bits and pieces from the 1st book, even so I wouldn't recommend reading them out of order. Already have the next one on hold and can't wait to read it. So why didn't I give it 5 stars??
Well, I really can't give an answer. It just didn't give me that same heart-pounding that the 1st book did. In places it was predictable and that wasn't the case in the 1st one. Read this series. It's here they once again run into the creature they bumped into during their original escape attempt and together they work towards escaping the prison.
As the story progresses me learn more about the prison and it's environs and creatures, and once again the story finishes on a cliff hanger, yet does so in a way that doesn't leave you feeling like you've only read half a book. Mixed emotions about this one guys. I must say there were some great well written lines. For what is reality other than the commotion of senses- with images witnessed by our own eyes and the noises that enter through our ears?
Not really a shocker to readers I was thoroughly frustrated and banging my head against the concrete prison cell that was this book! By book two I thought we would have a few more answers.
