A four-year-old girl miraculously recovers from her injuries in Felicity, California. A gunshot victim from Rochester, New York, survives with no long-term damage. A young boy rescues his grandfather in an extraordinary manner outside Tuscon, Arizona. Everywhere, children are displaying signs of astonishing mental and physical abilities far exceeding human capability. Researchers at Leland University, Palo Alto, California, Dr. Samuel Wentworth and Dr. Katheleen 'K' Kelly, bring these kids together and realize that humans have started evolving into what they term Species 2. However, not everyone is happy with this development. After a popular radio jockey calls them a threat to humanity, extreme supremacist groups spring up, demanding the end of their existence. Now, taken to a sanctuary, the children should be safe. Or are they? Find out in Nick Iuppa's Species 2.
Akin to the X-Men series, Species 2 follows a group of gifted youngsters trying to survive persecution from a hostile public who feel threatened by their unique abilities. With a gripping narrative, Nick Iuppa mixes sci-fi and political commentary in splendid fashion, perfectly capturing the environment created by supremacist groups who stop at nothing to spread fear and hatred in the real world. The story follows a multiple-POV narrative with a large cast of characters, each contributing to the story in a distinct yet personable manner that we can relate to. I found the plot very unpredictable and was constantly second-guessing myself until the end. Overall, this is a fantastic sci-fi thriller for young adults.
