Blaine Colton had been trapped in his own body by mitochondrial disease, until revolutionary gene therapy freed him. Just when he thinks he can be a normal teenager, he is told his life-changing procedure was unapproved, making him an illegal GMO. Held at an institute where he's subjected to constant testing, refused contact with his parents and deprived of life-sustaining medication, Blaine begins to suspect something, much bigger than himself, is going on. With his body failing and desperate for answers, he resolves to escape and find Professor Merrick Ramer, the developer of his therapy. But Ramer has vanished and time is running out. Fast.
Queensland author Adele Jones writes young adult fringe and near-science fiction exploring the underbelly of bioethics and confronting teen issues that include disability, self-worth, loss, domestic conflict, and more. Adele’s first YA novel received the 2013 CALEB Prize for unpublished manuscript.
