Synopses & Reviews
The new postapocalyptic thriller from the author of
Invasive Species
IT’S THEIR TERRITORY NOW.
Twenty years ago, venomous parasitic wasps known as “thieves” staged a massive, apocalyptic attack on another species—Homo sapiens—putting them on the brink of extinction.
But
some humans did survive. The colony called Refugia is home to a
population of 281, including scientists, a pilot, and a tough young
woman named Kait. In the African wilderness, there’s Aisha Rose, nearly
feral, born at the end of the old world. And in the ruins of New York
City, there’s a mysterious, powerful boy, a skilled hunter, isolated and
living by his wits.
As the survivors journey through the
wastelands, they will find that they are not the only humans left on
earth. Not by a long shot.
But they may be the only ones left who are not under the thieves’ control…
