It used to be a free e-book on barnes & nobles, I believe, but now I can't find it:\
Main parts:
apparently, civilization has moved...UP. pretty much built a city above the original city. Only the "elite" (rich) or ones that could provide a necessity were able to move up. everyone else is left "underground".
the person in charge of the surface world is called something like 'citizen one', or 'first citizen', I think.
the characters (that I can actually remember) : mysterious blue...humanoid, I guess you could say. he wakes up in a trash pile (the surface people dump their trash into the city below) in the very beginning. he's all blue, and has NO memory of who he is or how he got there. the only clue he has is his ring that has letters engraved in it. the only letters he can make out are: MLCM.
the main female character comes across him later, and assumes that his name is 'Malcom'/'Malcolm'.
"Malcom" saves the woman (can't think of her name) several times. he's gets shot, stabbed, etc, but his body heals itself very quickly.
one of the times when he's saving the girl, he kills one of the head underworld-gang leaders.
the woman was supposed to infiltrate the gang leader's HQ and provide a distraction so the people SHE works/worked for would be able to launch a surprise attack.
her "gang" is led by a man who is almost never seen except for his eyes through a slit in a door. VERY few people know what he looks like. I BELIEVE the gang's HQ is an old theatre...
the "gang" she works for is trying to gather manpower so they can launch an attack and make it to the surface.
*just remembered* one of the members is terminally ill, so he allows himself to be captured by the surface people. the surface scientists kinda...brainwash..people they take from the underground and make them, basically, public servants. they do the cleaning, running around, general mindless grunt work that the elite don't want to do.
this guy was trained to keep him mind through the brainwashing/torture so he would be able to spy and leak info to the underground army via the trash dumps.
...that's all I can remember off the top of my head...I think it's a fairly recent book...in the 2000's, anyway:S
ANY help is appreciated here...I really liked the story line and want to see if there's a sequel:\
