Swipe (novel)
''Swipe'' is an apocalyptic fiction novel written by Evan Angler and published in 2012. The first book in the ''Swipe'' series, it is aimed at a middle grade audience.
==Plot Summary==
''Swipe'' takes place in a futuristic United States, now called the American Union, which is in the process of a merger to create a Global Union. Citizenship from birth was abolished after the States' War roughly a decade earlier, and those who want citizenship are required to undergo a Pledging process. Pledges are Marked—that is, they receive a wrist tattoo that will allow them to participate in the benefits of civilization. The Unmarked, those who refuse to Pledge, live as vagrants or as dependents of those who are Marked.
Logan Langly, the novel's protagonist, is nearly thirteen, the age when most young people go to be Marked. Unlike most young people, Logan is afraid of the Marking process. His older sister Lily never returned from her Pledge, and Logan fears than if he Pledges, he might die himself. Logan's fears, however, go beyond the Pledge. Since Lily's death, someone has been watching him, even breaking into his room on occasion. The only person who takes Logan's fears seriously is thirteen-year-old Erin Arbitor, the daughter of a government agent. She believes that the perpetrator is a Markless teenager named Peck who is wanted by the government for crimes including kidnapping, assault, and murder. Logan and Erin spend most of the book trying to hunt down Peck and his friends on their own, ostensibly to turn them in to the government. Ultimately, however, Logan finds that he must judge for himself whether Peck's motives are as nefarious as the government claims.
