Fragments
by James N. DavidsonBrilliant psychologists have assembled in a small college town to conduct a revolutionary experiment that challenges the very nature of identity and individuality. Their subjects are savants, mentally and emotionally challenged individuals, each of whom possesses an amazing gift. One person can calculate calendar dates backward and forward, while another can memorize an entire library or assemble jigsaw puzzles at the speed of lightning. . Each of these very special people is flawed and psychologically handicapped, but what if five such savants are cybernetically linked together to create a sixth composite personality? Can this newly created entity be more than the sum of its parts? At first the experiment yields promising results, but a terrifying secret in the past will transform the project in ways the researchers never anticipated-and infect the newborn intelligence with a catastrophic thirst for vengeance. Soon all of them are at risk to become killers or to be killed. Good intentions and care for safety are overwhelmed by escalating powers, and the struggle to contain those lethal powers and to survive. Tension begins early in the book as a man with the secret power to control others insinuates himself in to the experiment. The suspense mounts rapidly to breathtaking levels. Scientific and emotional thinkers combine efforts to stop the destructive rampage they started. The subjects of the experiments, all with one special gift superimposed on limited intellects, are sympathetically and fascinatingly examined. Each has a part to play in this gripping novel about human and superhuman nature.

by Dan WellsKira Walker has found the cure for RM, but the battle for the survival of humans and Partials is just beginning. Kira has left East Meadow in a desperate search for clues to who she is. That the Partials themselves hold the cure for RM in their blood cannot be a coincidence—it must be part of a larger plan, a plan that involves Kira, a plan that could save both races. Her companions are Afa 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 postapocalyptic America, and Kira and Marcus both will discover that their greatest enemy may be one they didn't even know existed. The second 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 important, a reason—for our survival.
