Workman, 22.95 (352p) ISBN 978-0-7611-8981-7 In this informally written but well-researched history, physician Kang and journalist Pedersen expose the strange. When their overprotective father is killed in a terrible accident, Zel and her younger sister, Dylia, are lost in grief. Set in 2150 - in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms - this is about the human genetic 'mistakes' that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes. Highly recommended' - James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner
