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...

The first novel entitled Altered Perceptions is the first part of a trilogy featuring Andy McPhee and Team Seven of the SIS Black Door Operations. SIS does exist, as do Black Door Ops. What goes on at CDE Porton Down is part factual and part fiction. Although this story is fiction, or you could say factional, the enriched uranium and plutonium did go missing from FBR Dounreay. The Secret Royal Navy program, the Vulcan Project, did take place between the RN and Rolls Royce. There were two major accidents at FBR Dounreay, and they were covered up. There is still two miles of off-limit shoreline, where pieces of plutonium are being found near Dounreay. Much of what happened in the first book did happen in real life. Some is, of course, pure fiction. Real names have been changed. The majority of the places exist. Gruinard Island was used by the British Government to test out bacteriological and viral spores of anthrax. The island remained uninhabitable for almost fifty years. The UK has signed up to the Geneva Convention that bans the use of chemical and biological warfare. Yet it continues to make these banned items. The UK is not alone in this. The USA, France, Belgium, Germany, along with the majority of countries in the west, are also part of it. Yet they condemn third-world countries who try to make them, and in some cases, they even supply these countries with the parts required to make them. That is a fact.

When they fought the 'uni', they realized that they were the ones who had been tested ... Victim!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW AN EXCITING SERIES FROM NETFLIX • The shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning in this “tour de force of genre-bending, a brilliantly realized exercise in science fiction.”—The New York Times Book Review In the twenty-fifth century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person’s consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or “sleeve”) making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen. Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats “existence” as something that can be bought and sold.

Utilizing pure magic to overcome their treacherous nature, six serps form a council bent on obliterating peace and order across the land. They merge their manipulative abilities into a powerful force and develop a complex plot focused on raising tensions between the races. With sly precision, the snake-like creatures influence the decisions of Uton's most powerful leaders. The mayhem begins with an ominous and grisly message. Captain Sy Fenden and Ryson Acumen immediately recognize the handiwork of the abnormally large goblin, Okyiq. The ghastly display, however, serves a much larger purpose and launches a series of cascading calamities meant to envelop the entire region of Dark Spruce Forest. Concentrating their efforts on the dwarf underground city of Dunop, the serps assist one of the most infamous criminals of all the land in escaping a dwarf dungeon. Aiding the fugitive and thrusting him into a position of authority, the serps create an immediate and growing mistrust between the races. While suspicions fester is the forest, a horrible scene in the desert revives anger and sorrow across the algor community and heightens the evolving crisis. Great magical spells and horrific monsters crash down upon Uton in waves, causing great pain and tragedy. Demons terrorize humans and dwarves, and Okyiq leads an army of goblins, shags, and bloat spiders through Dark Spruce Forest. Every misfortune is designed to foster fear and instability, and a war between the races seems like an impending certainty. Recognizing the sweeping influence of the serps, the protectors of Uton work toward defusing the crisis. Holli and Enin take different paths in their fight to restore order, each one hoping to stave off catastrophe while avoiding direct confrontation with the serp council. Jure joins with Ryson to take a more direct approach to bring peace between the races, but it's the delver who discovers that the only way to match the serps' influence is to move faster than they can scheme.
