Summary:
For fans from the Hunger Games, Battlestar Galactica, and Blade Runner comes the first publication in the Partials Sequence, a fast-paced, action-packed, and riveting sci-fi young series, by acclaimed author Dan Wells.
Humanity is all but extinguished after a war with Partials-engineered organic beings identical to humans-has decimated the population. Reduced to only thousands with a weaponized computer virus to which only a small fraction of humanity is normally immune, the survivors in THE UNITED STATES have got huddled about Partials together on Long Island. But sixteen-year-old Kira is set to find a alternative. As she attempts desperately to save what is left of her competition, she discovers that how the success of both humans and Partials rests in her efforts to answer queries about the war’s origin that she by no means knew to talk to.
Playing on our curiosity of and fascination with the entire collapse of civilization, Partials can be, at its center, a story of survival, one which explores the individual narratives and complex relationships of these left out, both humans and Partials alike-and of the way in which the idea of what is correct and wrong nowadays is greatly reliant on one’s have point of view.
