ARC Copy received for free in return for an honest review, I just want to say a massive thanks to Kris for providing an ARC for me, if you want to check out his channel you can find it at @AFictionalEscapist
Synopsis:
How many lives will be lost for the sake of a non-existent war?
How many people will be sacrificed in the name of genetic enhancement?
When the lights go out at his father's investor soiree, Caleb finds himself thrown into a new world of horrific truths. Together with his old friend, Argo, he begins to uncover the sinister underpinnings of Dr. John Murilo's work.
Caught up in his father's sick experiment, Caleb will have to learn to cooperate with unlikely allies if he has any chance of surviving.
If Animorphs were spliced with Orphan Black and The Hunger Games, you would get ALPHA.
