3 total works
The exciting second volume in Trish Moran's acclaimed young adult series exploring humanity, technology, and the problems of growing up in a dystopian future. Perfect for fans of The Giver and the Divergent trilogy.
Since their successful fight to be recognised as equal to humans, the Labs – clones from the infamous research `Centre’ – are thriving in the real world, with many going into important jobs and fields of study.
Many Labs are now in relationships with Non-Lab humans and, like Lab leader Abel and his girlfriend Ruby, expecting children. It soon becomes apparent that these children – the Hybrids – are equipped with super-human intelligence and skills beyond either Labs or Non-Labs.
As the first generation of Hybrids start to grow up, the conflicts between their human and Lab genes and their places in the new world start to take hold, and things are complicated further when a militant group of rogue Labs, known as the Radicals, prove that they’re willing to do anything in their quest to create the `perfect’ being – even at the price of human lives…
What happens when unscrupulous people take technology into their own hands?
When fifteen-year-old Stella runs away from home she comes across a group of teenagers living in a hidden camp. They are the Labs- clones secretly made to replace the body parts of the rich and famous - who have escaped the sinister 'Centre' where they were created.
The group blends into human culture with Stella's help. But the Centre is looking for them and there are still clones inside, facing certain death once they are no longer useful.
Once the truth about the Centre's work is uncovered, the Labs hope they will finally have justice.
Can Stella and her friends find a voice in their struggle for equality?
The final installment of Trish Moran's acclaimed young adult series exploring humanity, technology, and the problems of growing up in a dystopian future. Perfect for fans of The Giver and the Divergent trilogy.
The Compound Labs, the original group of clones freed from the notorious medical centre, are continuing to live successfully alongside the normal humans in society.
They are uneasy to realize that the militant group of clones, the Radicals, are gaining more and more followers from the Labs and their Hybrid children.
The Radicals, sponsored by an anonymous billionaire, have a vision of a future society where every member is given a designated role according to their abilities. They have plans to rule this new way of life with a specially created perfect clone and his equally talented team, showing little regard for those they consider inferior mentally and physically.
Have they created a team of unfeeling, super-intelligent people who will stop at nothing to achieve their aims?
Are the Compound Labs strong enough to defeat them in their crusade?
Can a young Hybrid girl use the power of love and compassion to challenge the course they have set themselves?
