Synopsis

The only hope for humanity isn’t human. But she’s fighting to stop a war that could destroy them all...

Kira is fighting to prevent a final war between Partials and humans in the gripping final installment of the teen sci-fi blockbuster Partials series.

Humans and Partials alike are on the brink of destruction, and their only hope is to work together. But there is no avoiding it – the final war to decide the fate of both species is at hand, and every faction seems determined to tear the others apart.

Both sides hold in their possession a weapon that could destroy the other. Kira has fought her way through madness and ruin, but the greatest horror lies in a place she had never dared to consider: herself. She has one chance to save both species and the world. But it might be at the cost of her life...

About this title

Review:

Praise for PARTIALS:
“A thrilling sci-fi adrenaline rush, with one of the most compelling and frightening visions 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

“Kira is a bold heroine with lofty goals, and readers will willingly follow her to the sequel, where things are sure to tilt again.” ALA Booklist

“A dark, wild ride.” Kirkus Review

From the Back Cover:

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.
