Eve & Adam by Michael Grant, Katherine Applegate
Evening Wakes To A New World!
Evening
has just witnessed her own death. Watched as her arm was crushed, her
leg severed, and the blood, so much blood accompanied by a horrific
screaming that she realises is coming from herself. She doesn't think
she will survive this, is sure no one could survive this. Then after
what they say was fourteen hours of surgery, Evening wakes up clean,
bandaged and with less and less pain. Her severed leg reattached and
healing at a remarkable rate, Evening is no longer in hospital but is
recuperating under her mothers care in a facility that is more used to
lab rats than human patients.
Adam has just witnessed his own creation, watched as a girl put him together piece by piece. Once born he is given many facts but there is only one true thought that is his own. Evening, he loves Evening.
Solo has just witnessed one unscrupulous horror to many. Over the years he has come to despise Terra Spiker and her facility, has plotted how to expose her amoral, unethical and illegal practices to the world. The day is coming when he will have all the evidence he needs to bring her down. Then that day arrives and he has more then enough to prove Spiker Biotech should be shut down, there is only one problem, Evening. He never expected to develop feelings for the bosses daughter, never thought he would have to chose between covering up a crime or protecting the girl he loves.
Eve and Adam
is a creation story that begins with an apple and ends with a boy,
created and brought to life by a girl. Only there is more to creation
then pushing a few buttons, and sometimes perfect isn't at all what we
are looking for. This is a story that goes beyond themes of friendships,
loss, gang violence and identity. A story that strays into the realm of
human experimentation, genetic modifications and corporate cover-ups.
Alongside the philosophical, scientific and even artistic implications
of life and creation is a dangerous, bloody and romantic story that you
just can't resist.
