This chilling sequel arrives in paperback just in time to tease Gemma Malley's new stand alone novel: The Returners
The year is 2140. Peter and Anna are living freely on the Outside, trying hard to lead normal lives, but unable to leave the terror of the Declaration--and their experiences as surpluses--completely behind them. Peter is determined to infiltrate Pharma Corporation, which claims to have a new drug in the works; "Longevity +" will not just stop the ravages of old age, it might just reverse the aging process. But what Peter and Anna discover behind the walls of Pharma is so nightmarish it makes the prison of their childhood seem like a sanctuary: for it seems the only way to regain youth is to harvest the young.“…worthwhile and tension-packed sequel.” –Kirkus Reviews
"Malley excels at world building. ...The novel is well written and will be enjoyed by readers who liked the first book." –VOYA
“Peter and Anna, both fighting for their right to be alive, are sympathetic focal points from which to tell this compelling story.” –Booklist
“[A] gripping, stand-alone sequel to The Declaration. The author addresses the moral and ethical implications of immortality in this dystopian novel, making it a great choice for group discussions. …the fast pace and exciting plot make it a page-turner.” - School Library Journal
