Colony in the Core — Phillip L. Truong

With the king acting in a bizarre behavior, the Officials are back in action as they are hunted down one by one for a reason obscure to anyone besides the king. Jun and his team are separated into the different parts of this once utopia, now a hellish nightmare. All they can do is run and hide, while slowly discovering the truth to the king's actions. Why does he want to arrest the Officials the protectors of the colonies that were to be a utopia? And what is the Maker Manuscript? Such a treasure has the Officials racing to find before the king, for as long as they can evade him and the police.
