About this ebook

Two decades before the events of Partials, the world was locked in a different battle for survival: a global war for the last remaining oil reserves on the planet. It was for the Isolation War that the American government contracted the ParaGen Corporation to manufacture the Partials—our last hope in reclaiming energy independence from China. And it was on these fields of battle that the seeds of humanity's eventual destruction were sown.

Isolation takes us back to the front lines of this war, a time when mankind's ambition far outstripped its foresight. Heron, a newly trained Partial soldier who specializes in infiltration, is sent on a mission deep behind enemy lines. What she discovers there has far-reaching implications—not only for the Isolation War, but for Partials and humans alike long after this war is over.

A powerful take of our world on the brink, Isolation gives readers a glimpse into the history from which Partials was born—as well as clues to where the Partials Sequence is heading next.

Ratings and reviews

Don't come into this story expecting to find some series altering secrets and If you don't you'll throughly enjoy the book. It gives a more in depth look on how Haron came to distrust humans and how and why partials created in the first place. The training and pre-prequel parts were my favorite but as a whole it was a good book. It also showed how heron thinks and how ruthless and once nieve she was.

Ive just bought this book being lead to believe it was the next book after partails however the 'book' is only 32 pages long! I feel robbed and will be reporting this to google play!

For alk who have been mislead to think this part two.. please don't go ballistic.. this is merely foreshadowing to the actual partials book.. I think this one is a great read if you actually knew how everything went in the Partials book itself =]
