   Pia vždy znala svůj osud. Měla počít novou rasu, linii nástupců, kteří porazí smrt. Za tímto účelem se zrodila, byla geneticky upravená k nesmrtelnosti a vychovávaná týmem vědců v tajné skrýši v Amazonském deštném pralese. Nyní ji vědci začínají podrobovat testům, jejichž výsledkem má být dokončení celého nebezpečného projektu. Co si Pia pamatuje, vždy nejvíc toužila naplnit jejich očekávání. Ale v noci o svých sedmnáctých narozeninách nachází díru ve zdánlivě neproniknutelném plotě, který uzavírá její sterilní domov. Poprvé v životě volná v džungli potkává Eia, chlapce z nedaleké vesnice. Nedokáže odolat a pokračuje v útěcích, aby ho mohla vídat. Zamilují se do sebe a kousek po kousku začínají poznávat pravdu o Piině původu – pravdu se smrtícími následky, která navždy změní jejich životy. 1. vydání. -- zdroj: legie.info –

   "Magnificent and unsettling." --Marie Lu, New York Times Bestselling author of the Legend Trilogy A death-defying tropical adventure delivers a frightening message about dabbling with creation, perfect for fans of Orphan Black. On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings—the Vitros—have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw. Sophie Crue is determined to get to Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. She enlists hunky charter pilot Jim Julien to take her there. But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux. In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach.

   "Survivor meets James Bond in this page-turning mix of realism and science fiction." —Voice of Youth Advocates Deep in the Kalahari Desert, a Corpus lab protects a dangerous secret… But what happens when that secret takes on a life of its own? When an educational safari goes wrong, five teens find themselves stranded in the Kalahari Desert without a guide. It’s up to Sarah, the daughter of zoologists, to keep them alive and lead them to safety, calling on survival know-how from years of growing up in remote and exotic locales. Battling dehydration, starvation and the pangs of first love, she does her best to hold it together, even as their circumstances grow increasingly desperate. But soon a terrifying encounter makes Sarah question everything she’s ever known about the natural world. A silver lion, as though made of mercury, makes a vicious, unprovoked attack on the group. After a narrow escape, they uncover the chilling truth behind the lion’s silver sheen: a highly contagious and deadly virus that threatens to ravage the entire area—and eliminate life as they know it. In this breathtaking new novel by the acclaimed author of Origin and Vitro, Sarah and the others must not only outrun the virus, but its creators, who will stop at nothing to wipe every trace of it.
