Incubation
Publisher Description
Bio-chemistry whiz Everly Jax wants one thing: to know who her parents are. Raised with other repo kids in InKubator 9, she has pinned her hopes on Reunion Day, the annual event where sixteen-year-olds can meet or reunite with their parents. When her Reunion Day goes horribly awry, she and her pregnant friend Halla escape the Kube, accompanied by their friend Wyck who has his own reasons for leaving.
In a world where rebuilding the population is critical to national survival, the Pragmatist government licenses all human reproduction, and decides who can--and must--have babies. The trio face feral dog packs, swamp threats, locust swarms, bounty hunters looking for "breeders," and more dangers as they race to Amerada's capital to find Halla's soldier boyfriend before the Prags can repo her baby and force the girls into surrogacy service.
An unexpected encounter with Bulrush, an Underground Railroad for women fleeing to Outposts with their unlicensed babies, puts them in greater peril than ever. Everly must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to learn her biological identity--and deal with the unanticipated consequences of her decisions.
Customer Reviews
Read it!
So fun to read! I didn’t think I’d enjoy this book so much; I was looking for something quick and easy but I got a fast paced, interesting teen action novel! I can’t wait to read the next in this dystopian series. I’d compare it to The Hunger Games and Divergent in genre, style and thrill. I’d love to see it as a movie.
Well developed dystopia
I enjoyed this version of a dystopia. Society has changed in fairly logical ways based on the plague introduced. The characters are well degeloped, and I find myself wanting more. I want to know the history, and what caused the misery for the population. I want to know what happens next and uncover the secrets that are still waiting to be discovered.
