Kira, Samm, and Marcus fight to stop a war that could destroy what's left of their races in this sequel to the hotly-anticipated teen sci-fi blockbuster Partials.
Kira Walker has found the cure for RM, but the battle for the survival of humans and Partials is only just beginning. We open with Kira leaving East Meadow in a desperate search for clues as to who she is. That the Partials themselves hold the cure for RM in their blood cannot be a coincidence - it can only be part of a larger plan, a plan that Kira knows she must be a part of, a plan that could save both races. Her only allies are Ava Demoux, an unhinged drifter and former employee of ParaGen, and Samm and Heron, the Partials who betrayed her and saved her life, the only ones who know her secret. But can she trust them? Meanwhile, back on Long Island, what's left of humanity is gearing up for war with the Partials, and Marcus knows his only hope is to delay them until Kira returns. But Kira's journey will take her deep into the overgrown wasteland of post-apocalyptic America, and they will both discover that their greatest enemy may be one they didn't even know existed.
The middle installment in the pulse-pounding Partials saga is the story of the eleventh hour of humanity's time on earth, a journey deep into places unknown to discover the means--and even more importantly, a reason--for our survival.

He has been nominated for both the Hugo and the Campbell awards, and has won two Parsec awards for his podcast, Writing Excuses. He plays a lot of games, reads a lot of books, and eats a lot of food, which is pretty much the ideal life he imagined for himself as a child.
