I recently have began reading "Partials" by Dan Wells. In the book, a sixteen-year-old named Kira along with several others are some of the only remaining from the war. This war, which was fought between humans and partials, "engineered organic beings identical to humans," that also nearly wiped out the whole civilization using RM, a weaponized virus. Although Kira is safe in the protected area of Long Island the partials still remain a threat. However, there is also another threat besides the partials: The Voice. Ever since the war, not a single infant has successfully been born immune to the virus. In order for there to be a great chance, the Hope Act was created which required women at the age of 18 to become pregnant as frequently as possible. The Voice did not approve and therefore rebelled against the government.
Kira along with several others went on a mission outside the defense grid. On their way, they came across explosions that killed a few. They later found shelter and Owen Tovar, a former Marine Corp. Owen invites them into his house. They begin speaking about the war and eventually the Voice. After speaking about the damages from when he was a Marine and someone asking, "How did you receive those scars?" Tovar says that he was a demolition specialist. I suddenly thought that maybe Tovar could be part of the Voice. He showed much interest in Kira's mission as well as the defense system around Long Island along with knowing much information about the Voices. I predict that Owen is part of the Voice and that he will win Kira and the rests' trust enough so that he becomes a dangerous threat to the survival of the last humans remaining.
