“Newborn #485GA18M died on June 30, 2076, at 6:07 in the
morning. She was three days old. The average lifespan of a human child, in the
time since the Break, was fifty-six hours.” (Page 1)
It has been eleven years since 2065 when The Break occurred.
Few people remain. The RM virus was released by the Partials- a group of
engineered beings which resemble humans. Only those humans immune to the virus
are alive.
Kira is 16 years old. She has been in training as a medic on
the maternity ward in the hospital. Every baby being born since The Break has
died from the virus within days of its birth. At this rate Kira realizes the
human race will be extinct if a cure isn’t found.
The group of people living on what was Long Island includes
Kira, her boyfriend, Marcus, friends Jayden and his sister Madison as well as
others. The Senate of the East Meadow community where they live has declared
the Hope Act. This act is about to lower the mandatory age at which one must
become pregnant to hopefully increase the likelihood of having a baby who might
survive.
An opposing faction known as The Voice is rising up to fight
the current government order.
Kira hatches a plan to venture into what was Manhattan to
capture one of the engineered beings known as Partials to see if something in
their DNA might provide a cure for the RM virus. Her plan is filled with danger
but seems like the only possible way to possibly save humanity.
Will she and her friends succeed? Read Partials to find out.
