The first book in Carolina Dawn's Generation AB series. In the aftermath of Europe's destruction, humans had to evolve in order to survive, and they had one generation to do it. Alaina is one of a generation of children who were supposed to ensure humankind's survival into the next century. But something went wrong. The children were too perfect — too beautiful — too smart to qualify as human. The enhanced children were rounded up and executed. Now, two years after the Purge began, Alaina's parents have turned her over to the Committee on Genetic Modification. Hours before the CGM carries out her scheduled execution, a mysterious doctor appears and offers Alaina a chance to escape.

If only it could be that easy.

Alaina's freedom comes at a price she may not be willing to pay. If she hopes to survive, she must learn to use the latent talents hidden in her enhanced DNA and wield them for the New Republic, the very government that set out to destroy every genetically enhanced child like her, all the while uncovering a hidden agenda of biblical proportions.

Perfect for fans of Divergent and Dream Shatter, Generation AB and its sequels Up in Flames and A New Beginning explore the power of friendship, trust, and the sometimes grey area between right and wrong as they convince the citizens of the New Republic to open their eyes to the real threat to human survival.
