Death Sentence by Alexander Gordon Smith is the 3rd book in the Escape From the Furnace series. All the Escape From the Furnace books offer a unique blend of horror and dystopia genres. If you haven't read the other books in the series I seriously recommend that you do as many times in this book you will have no clue what the characters are talking about if you having read the past books.
Just a quick recap: Alex's tried to escape twice from the furnace prison twice now. His last attempt landed him in the warden's hands. Now, the warden wants to turn Alex into a Blacksuit, one of the prisons inhuman guards.
In Death Sentence, Alex goes through the operations to become a Blacksuit. Will Alex ever remember who he was after the operations are done, or will he become what he hates most? Also the big question looms, will Alex ever escape?
Death Sentence is a very fast-paced book. If action packed books are your cup of tea, then look no further. Bullets may well go flying around the corner and you never know what to expect. Also, this book shows many different medic experiments gone wrong which may well give you nightmares. One last thing that I like about this book is that the reader is finally able to see how the Furnace came to be.
One thing I don't like about the book is that the world seems very unrealistic. Would modern-day Britain allow the Furnace to be built, even if there were huge gang riots and people were killed. Also, wouldn't a government inspector visit the prison and see the bad conditions and the medic experiments?
