About the Book

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 humanity’s last survivors and the remaining Partials on a collision course, can one girl’s sacrifice prevent total annihilation?

  • A Race Against Extinction: Humans hold a nuke and Partials hold the plague. Kira Walker is caught in the middle, with time running out to stop a war of mutual destruction.
  • Genetically Engineered Soldiers: The Partials, facing a deadly expiration date at age twenty, will do anything to survive—even if it means wiping out their creators for good.
  • High-Stakes Series Finale: Don’t miss the epic conclusion to the Partials Sequence, where every alliance will be tested and the fate of the world will be decided once and for all.
  • A Heroine’s Sacrifice: Kira believed she held the cure for both species. Now, her one last chance to save everyone will demand a price she may not be willing to pay.

Dan Wells

Biography

Dan Wells is the author of the Mirador series (Bluescreen, Ones and Zeroes, and Active Memory), as well as the New York Times bestselling Partials Sequence and the John Cleaver series—the first book of which, I Am Not a Serial Killer, has been made into a major motion picture. He has been nominated for the Campbell Award and has won a Hugo Award and three Parsec Awards for his podcast Writing Excuses. 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.

Reviews

“Science (fiction) at the end of the world done right.” — Kirkus Reviews

“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 reversals.” — Wall Street Journal, about The Partials Sequence

“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Am Number Four, about The Partials Sequence

“A fine and frightening postapocalyptic thriller.” — Kirkus Reviews, about The Partials Sequence
