Produktbeschreibung

In this humorous science fiction thriller, a genetic engineer and a group of teens uncover a dangerous conspiracy. Drew Bergen is an Engineer. He builds living things, one gene at a time. He's also kind of a doofus. Six years after the Stupid War-a bloody, inconclusive clash between the Engineered and the UnAltered-that's a dangerous combination. Hannah is Drew's greatest project, modifiedin uteroto be just a bit more than human. She's also his daughter. Drew's working on a new project now. He thinks his team is developing a spiffy new strain of corn, but Hannah's classmate and her mysterious companion disagree. They think he's cooking up the end of the world. When one of Drew's team members disappears, he begins to suspect that they might be right. Soon they're all in far over their heads, with corporate goons and government operatives hunting them, and millions of lives in the balance. Energetic and bitingly satirical,The End of Ordinaryis a riveting near-future thriller that asks an important question: if we can't get along when our differences are barely skin deep, what happens when they run all the way down to the bone?
