Book one in the internationally bestselling Escape from Furnace series that has captivated millions of readers worldwide. A teenager must survive the nightmarish horrors of a deadly underground prison in this fast-paced and terrifying read that's perfect for fans of The Maze Runner.

"A thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more . . . Downright terrifying." --VOYA (on Solitary)

"Fresh and ferocious." --James Patterson

"Furnace is hotter than hell and twice as much fun!" --Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series

"The Stephen King of YA horror." --The Book Zone

Framed for a murder he didn't commit, teenager Alex Sawyer is sentenced to a life without parole at Furnace Penitentiary, the world's most secure prison for young criminals. Buried a mile beneath the earth's surface, Furnace is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night; giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows; and grotesque beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as merciless as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison.

Escape is Alex's only chance at survival, and with the help of fellow inmates--some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold-blooded killers--he may just have a plan daring enough to work. But as he starts to uncover Furnace's deeper, darker purpose, Alex's actions grow more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose the truth. In this prison, secret horrors are finally breaking free.

Expertly blending elements of horror, dystopia, and thriller, Alexander Gordon Smith delivers an action-packed, bone-chilling, and genre-defying must-read that grabs you from the first page and never lets go.

About the Author

Alexander Gordon Smith is the author of the Escape from Furnace series. Born in 1979 in Norwich, England, he always wanted to be a writer. After experimenting in the service and retail trades for a few years, Smith decided to go to University. He studied English and American Literature at the University of East Anglia, and it was here that he first explored his love of publishing. Along with poet Luke Wright, he founded Egg Box Publishing, a groundbreaking magazine and press that promotes talented new authors. He also started writing literally hundreds of articles, short stories and books ranging from Scooby Doo comic strips to world atlases, Midsomer Murders to X-Files. The research for these projects led to countless book ideas germinating in his head. His first book, The Inventors, written with his nine-year-old brother Jamie, was published in the U.K. in 2007. He lives in England.
