In Dan Wells? action-filled Partials, another trilogy opener, a virus is once again to blame for America?s destruction?well, a virus and the Partials, a race of engineered supersoldiers who turned on their human creators after the Isolation War with China. A small population of survivors has made Long Island into their stronghold, and it?s there that 16-year-old Kira investigates why babies with virus-immune parents all die within days of being born. The clock is ticking for Kira; all women must try to conceive by age 18 and keep having children as long as they possibly can, according to the Hope Act. (Why not the Pregnancy Opportunity Act?) After Kira undertakes a desperate journey into kudzu-covered, derelict Manhattan, hoping that the Partials can help her find a cure for the virus, the Hope Act age is lowered to 16.?We?re talking about the government taking full control over your body,? a friend tells Kira. ?What it?s for, what you do with it, and what other people can do to it.?
