Adaptation
Autor Malinda Loen Paperback – 2 sep 2013 – vârsta de la 15 ani
Among
them
are
Reese
and
her
debate
team
partner
and
longtime
crush
David,
who
are
in
Arizona
when
the
disaster
occurs.
On
their
drive
home
to
San
Francisco,
along
a
stretch
of
empty
highway
in
the
middle
of
the
Nevada
night,
a
bird
flies
into
their
headlights.
The
car
flips
over.
When
they
wake
up
in
a
military
hospital,
the
doctor
won't
tell
them
what
happened,
where
they
are--or
how
they've
been
miraculously
healed.
Things become even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco feels like a different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in an entirely new direction-and threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep secret.
Adaptationis a bold contemporary science-fiction thriller from the acclaimed author ofAsh.

"Absolutely
compelling...the
reader
is
tugged
along,
just
as
confused
and
naively
hopeful
as
Reese
herself.
A
sharp
twist
at
the
climax
makes
everything
that
happened
before
an
even
more
satisfying
puzzle
to
unravel."
"Suspenseful,
girl-powered,
contemporary
science
fiction
full
of
realistically
diverse
characters
making
realistic
contemporary
use
of
technology-
plus
hot
kissing-make
this
book
hard
to
resist."

BrotherandThe

—Kirkus"Lo
invokes
a
paranoid
X-Files
sensibility
here,
layering
conspiracy
atop
conspiracy
and
balancing
ambitious
twists
with
nuanced
relationships
that
are
ultimately
as
important
to
the
sci-fi
plotting
as
they
are
to
the
character
development."
