For fans of The Hunger Games, Battlestar Galactica, and Blade Runner comes the first book in the Partials Sequence, a fast-paced, action-packed, and riveting sci-fi teen 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 tens of thousands by a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island. But sixteen-year-old Kira is determined to find a solution. As she tries desperately to save what is left of her race, she discovers that that the survival of both humans and Partials rests in her attempts to answer questions about the war's origin that she never knew to ask.

Playing on our curiosity of and fascination with the complete collapse of civilization, Partials is, at its heart, a story of survival, one that explores the individual narratives and complex relationships of those left behind, both humans and Partials alike—and of the way in which the concept of what is right and wrong in this world is greatly dependent on one's own point of view.

Past- 11 years ago ago a weponized virus called RM wiped out tens of thousands and only a fraction of humanity is immune, survived North America are now huddled in Long Island... Now- If tens of thousands of people dying isn't bad enough no baby has been born immune to the virus in 11 years, humanity's time is running out... 16 year old Kira is a medic-in-training -who was only 5 when RM hit- is right in the middle of this kind of world, where laws are placed for mandatory pregnancy laws, that have pushed what's left of humanity close to war. Kira will not stand by and watch more babies die, will the help of her boyfriend Marcus and her friends set out on a dangerous trek to save humanity...even if no one is on there side. I loved this book so much I couldn't put it down, I'd recommend for 13 and up. Thanks for reading -Ajg15's Reviews
