| After a terrible accident, the minds of three friends were kept alive, spinning in a digital netherworld. Two-hundred-and-sixty years later, they have been released at last. Given new, perfect bodies, Locke and Kara awaken to a world they know nothing about, where everyone they once knew and loved is long dead. |
Annotation:
Mary E. Pearson continues to question the ethics of bioengineering and notions of humanity in this sequel to THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX. After 260 years, Locke and Kara awake in newly engineered BioGel bodies invented by Dr. Gatsbro, and are horrified to discover that everyone and everything they knew is long gone. Living in pampered style in the doctor's mansion, Locke isn't sure what to believe, while Kara is content with Dr. Gatsbro's version of reality. However, when Locke discovers the truth, he and Kara flee in search of the one person they think will understand, Jenna Fox. Combining science fiction, a touch of horror, and adventure, this young adult novel is fast-paced and compelling.
