Review A 2024 Edgar Award Nominee!A Best Fiction for Young Adults selection • A Kirkus Best Book of the Year • A Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year • A Core Excellence in Young Adult Science Fiction selection"A twisty mystery of partial truths and unexpected reveals.″ —BCCB"The expertly juggled storyline nurtures a tension that blossoms into a palpable sense of dread as the downright spooky nature of the disaster is explored. Themes of identity hit hard, as they come with high stakes. An intense, read-in-one-sitting kind of ride." —Kirkus, starred review"Dual timelines imbued with believable hard science, harrowing action, and strong characterizations permeate Kirbys breakneck adventure. Questions of personhood are skillfully elevated, explored against an inventive future backdrop in which cloning is the norm and the potential consequences of deceptively simple-sounding procedures come at high costs." —Publishers Weekly Details ISBN0735231354 Author Matthew J.
