Synopsis
Thalli has fifteen minutes and twenty-three seconds to live. The toxic gas that will complete her annihilation is invading her bloodstream. But she is not afraid. Decades before ThalliÆs birth, the world was decimated by a nuclear war. But life continued deep underground, thanks to a handful of scientists known as The Ten. There they created genetically engineered human beings who are free of emotions in the hope that war wonÆt threaten the world again. Thalli is an anomaly, born with the ability to feel emotions and a sense of curiosity she can barely contain. She has survived so far by hiding her differences. But then her secret is discovered when sheÆs overwhelmed by the emotion of an ancient piece of music. The Ten quickly schedule her annihilation, but her childhood friend, Berkùa scientist being groomed by The Tenùconvinces them to postpone her death and study her instead. While in the ScientistsÆ Pod, Thalli and Berk form a dangerous alliance, one strictly forbidden by the constant surveillance. As her life ticks a way, she hears rumors of someone called the Designerùsomeone even more powerful than The Ten. WhatÆs more, the parts of her that have always been an anomaly could in fact be part of a much larger plan. And the parts of her that she has always guarded could be the answer sheÆs been looking for all along.Thalli must sort out what to believe and who to trust, before her time runs out. ô. . . the first in what has the potential to be a fascinating trilogy of general appeal. McGeeÆs simple narrative belies the novelÆs complexity, a factor that will make this intriguing book accessible to a wide variety of teen readers.ö ùBooklist
