Book description
The only hope for humanity isn't human.
In a world where people have been all but wiped out by a virus created
by part-human cyborgs called 'Partials', and where no baby survives
longer than three days, a teenage girl makes it her mission to find a
cure, and save her best friend's unborn child.
But finding a cure means capturing a Partial… “A thrilling sci-fi

of Earth's future I've seen yet. I couldn't put it down” PITTACUS LORE,
New York Times bestselling author of I AM NUMBER FOUR
“Mr. Wells has recombined familiar dystopian elements, added original
ones and thrown in dashes of dry wit to create a sprawling,
action-packed medical thriller full of big ideas and exciting reversal.”
The Wall Street Journal
