I couldn’t put it down.” (Pittacus Lore, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Am Number Four, about The Partials Sequence) “A thrilling sci-fi adrenaline rush, with one of the most compelling and frightening visions of Earth’s future I’ve seen yet.

Too selfish to live in peace, and too proud to stop our wars long after they ceased to have any real meaning.The only thing left of any value on this entire planet is their lives, but that’s not worth anything while the other guy still has his, so they kill each other. Not because it was time, not because the world moved past us, but because we, as a people, were fools. Human thought-the glorious zenith of five billion years of evolution-will go out like a candle, gone forever. The world will forget that we were ever here. Rivers will keep flowing, the sun and the moon will keep turning, vines will creep up across the cars and the concrete. The world will go on, the planet and the life that lives on it.
