Research scientist Dr. Mandy Fox has been developing an anti-aging drug that she believes might also eradicate the flu. Ricky becomes one of the test subjects. The government rushes approval for the drug but Ricky and others soon discover there is an unintended side effect of the new drug and vaccine with severe consequences for him and for the entire population. Praise for ATOM & EVE: "Atom and Eve" is one of the most imaginative young adult novels I have read in quite a while and a great debut for its author, Jeff Yager. Its mix of suspense, science, romance, and even politics will keep the reader turning the pages to find out what happens next, and there are enough twists and turns to ensure the pace never slackens. I can't wait to see the movie!"-Alan Caruba, Editor, Bookviews.com, Founding member of the National Book Critics Circle About the Author: Jeff Yager grew up in Stamford, Connecticut and now lives in Clearwater, Florida.
