Partials by Dan Wells

So far in "Partials" by Dan Wells, Kira has discovered a shocking fact about RM, the weaponized virus that the Partials inflicted upon humans. When Kira learned that Madison became pregnant, she was determined to stop the RM virus from killing innocent infants. Working as an intern at the hospital, Kira noticed that blood samples were taken only from the infants that would later die in the proceeding hours. When decided to take a blood sample from her boyfriend, Marcus, to find what the survivors of the RM virus had that the infants didn't, she astonishingly found that everyone was a carrier. Therefore, the reason behind the deaths of the infants was because although their parents were carriers, they however inherited the subliminal disease.

Determined as Kira is, there are still many obstacles in her way. For example, in order to have the greatest chance of curing the RM disease she has to find and study a partial. However, after attacking the humans the partials fled and since then no one has encountered one. Despite this, Kira may still have a chance of encountering a partial. Previously in the book, Kira was nearly killed when a bomb was detonated. What she didn't know was that the "radio installation rigged with a massive bomb" was from the Voice, a group of rebels that left the "grid" when the Hope Act was passed which required girls at a certain age to get pregnant as frequently as possible. Gianna, one of the people that was found in the rubble was part of the voice and was protecting something that wasn't supposed to be found. I think that the voice hasn't just rebelled because of the Hope Act but possibly because they are working with the partials. Hopefully I will find out as I continue to read the book.
