Synopsis

New York Times Bestseller

Kira, Samm, and Marcus fight to prevent a final war between Partials and humans in the gripping final installment in the Partials Sequence, a series that combines the thrilling action of The Hunger Games with the provocative themes of Blade Runner and The Stand.

There is no avoiding it—the war to decide the fate of both humans and Partials is at hand. Both sides hold in their possession a weapon that could destroy the other, and Kira Walker has precious little time to prevent that from happening. She has one chance to save both species and the world with them, but it will only come at great personal cost.

With the fate of two species hanging in the balance, can one girl’s sacrifice be enough?

• High-Stakes Finale: Kira Walker holds the key to saving both humans and Partials, but the final battle for survival threatens to annihilate them all.
• Genetic Engineering: Discover the secrets behind the Partials―genetically engineered super-soldiers―and the plague that brought humanity to its knees.
• Moral Dilemmas: When both sides possess a weapon of mass destruction, preventing a war might mean making an impossible choice.
• Found Family: A medic, a soldier, and a survivor must trust each other to stop a war, even when their own species are on opposite sides.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

He plays a lot of games, reads a lot of books, and eats a lot of food, which is pretty much the ideal life he imagined for himself as a child. You can find out more online at www.thedanwells.com.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Our time is almost up.

As the clock ticks closer and closer to the final Partial expiration date, humans and Partials stand on the brink of war. Caught in the middle, thousands of miles apart, are Samm and Kira: Samm, who is trapped on the far side of the continent beyond the vast toxic wasteland of the American Midwest; and Kira, now in the hands of Dr. Morgan, who is hell-bent on saving what's left of the Partials, even if she has to destroy Kira to do it.

The only hope lies in the hands of the scattered people of both races who seek a way to prevent the rapidly escalating conflict. But in their midst appears a mysterious figure, neither human nor Partial, with solemn warnings of a new apocalypse—one that none of them may be able to avert.

The final installment in the Partials Sequence is a thrill ride of epic proportions, as the last remnants of life on our planet fight to determine its final fate.
