Événement

Scott Westerfeld at UWM Union Fireside Lounge

Scott Westerfeld, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Uglies series, which has been translated into 35 languages, returns to Milwaukee for Shatter City, the follow up to Impostors, which is set in the same world as The Uglies. This Geek Week preview event is cosponsored by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Student Involvement and Boswell Book Company.

Twin sisters Frey and Rafi are inseparable, two edges of the same knife. But Frey's very existence is a secret. Frey isnt just Rafis twin sister - shes her body double. When the world sees Frey, they think they see her twin sister Rafi. Now Frey's taken on the role of her sister without anyone else knowing. Her goal? To destroy the forces that created her. But with the world watching and a rebellion rising, Frey is forced into a detour.

Suddenly she is stranded on her own in Paz, a city where many of the citizens attempt to regulate their emotions through an interface on their arms. As the city comes under a catastrophic attack, Frey must leave the shadows and enter the chaos of warfare - because there is no other way for her to find her missing sister and have her revenge against her murderous father.

Scott Westerfeld will appear at the UWM Student Union Fireside Room, 2200 E Kenwood Blvd. This event is free, but registration is required, and space is limited. No cancellations on ticket-with-book upgrade option after September 15. Sign up at westerfeldmke.bpt.me.
