Scythe (Arc of a Scythe) by Neal Shusterman Condition:New 'Ebullient and funny' The TimesA dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death. In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes.
