Book Description
Best friends Kayla and Mishalla know they will be separated when the time comes for their Assignments. They are GENs, Genetically Engineered Non-humans, and in their strict caste system, GENs are at the bottom rung of society. High-status trueborns and working-class lowborns, born naturally of a mother, are free to choose their own lives. But GENs are gestated in a tank, sequestered in slums, and sent to work as slaves as soon as they reach age fifteen. When Kayla is Assigned to care for Zul Manel, the patriarch of a trueborn family, she finds a host of secrets and surprises--not least of which is her unexpected friendship with Zul's great-grandson. Meanwhile, the children that Mishalla is Assigned to care for are being stolen in the middle of the night. With the help of an intriguing lowborn boy, Mishalla begins to suspect that something horrible is happening to them. After weeks of toiling in their Assignments, mystifying circumstances enable Kayla and Mishalla to reunite. Together they hatch a plan with their new friends to save the children who are disappearing. Yet can GENs really trust humans? Both girls must put their lives and hearts at risk to crack open a sinister conspiracy, one that may reveal secrets no one is ready to face.

Book Description
Before Kayla can free her fellow GENs from slavery, she must save them from a deadly virus. Now in paperback: the second book in the critically acclaimed Tankborn trilogy! Once a lowly Chadi sector GEN girl terrified of her first job Assignment, Kayla is now a valued member of the Kinship, a secret organization of GENs, lowborns, and trueborns who fight to further the cause of GEN freedom. But she is still a slave to the trueborn ruling class, and her relationship with trueborn Devak is still strictly forbidden. Kayla longs to be truly free, but other priorities get in the way. A deadly new virus is sweeping through GEN sectors--a disease only GENs catch. And GEN warrens and warehouses are being bombed, with only the scrawled letters F.H.E. as a clue: Freedom, Humanity, Equality. In this sequel to Tankborn, freedom and love are put aside for a moment as Kayla and her friends find a way to stop the killing ... before it's too late.

The trees are stunted, the house is cramped, and there’s no grass at all. But the Bombecks will make do, for they are suburbanites now—the last true pioneers!
