    About this ebook

    If you like Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt, then you'll love this series. It's dark, disturbing and excellent.
    Being born on Level Five is even more dangerous than being created there.
    The society that rose from the destruction of the Great Death is a class system. Almightys have absolute control over the other classes. Professor Conguise and his scientists take it to another level, by creating hybrids from the lower classes – creatures that are enhanced with DNA from other species.
    Glick is one of those creatures except he wasn’t modified; he was born that way.
    He has no idea why everyone wants him and his friends dead, but from the moment he crawled from the earth death surrounded him.
    His enemies have tried poison, brute force and starvation, but Glick and his friends are determined to survive. They have the will and they have each other. They don’t need anything else…except food. They really, really need food, but there's nothing but dead earth in their cage.
    How will the four friends find food and survive when everything on Level Five is trying to kill them?

    L. S. O'Dea

    L. S. O’Dea sees things a bit differently than most people. This is probably a bi-product of being the youngest of seven children in a time when TV was only worth watching in the evenings or Saturday mornings and there were no computers. Back then, kids had to amuse themselves and being five years younger than her closest sibling she was often the unwilling entertainment.One day, before she started kindergarten, she really wanted to learn how to spell her name (Linda Sue). Her mother was busy so her brothers were told to help their baby sister. When they were done, she raced into the kitchen to show her mother what she’d learned. She stood tall and recited the letters of her name. L-E-M-O-N H-E-A-D.To this day, she still receives a box of Lemonhead candy every year for Christmas.
