Known as the plague generation a group of teenagers begin to discover their hidden powers in this shocking post-apocalyptic coming of age story set in 1984.
This is not a kind book, or a gentle book, or a book that pulls its punches. But it´s a powerful book, and it will change you. -- Seaman McGuire
They´ve called him a monster from the day he was born.
Abandoned by his family, Enoch Bryant now lives in a rundown orphanage with other teenagers just like him. He loves his friends, even if the teachers are terrified of them. They´re members of the rising plague generation. Each bearing their own extreme genetic mutation.
The people in the nearby town hate Enoch, but he doesn´t know why. He´s never harmed anyone. Works hard and doesn´t make trouble. He believes one day he´ll be a respected man.
But hatred dies hard. The tension between Enoch´s world and those of the normal townspeople is ready to burst. And when a body is found, it may be the spark that ignites a horrifying revolution.
