- “People
- don’t
- just
- create
- diseases
- to
- wipe
- out
- nations,”
- I
- argue.“The
- bubonic
- plague,
- typhoid
- fever,
- smallpox,
- the
- bird
- flu—would
- you
- like
- me
- to
- continue?”
- His
- voice
- rises
- as
- if
- he’s
- determined
- to
- make
- me
- understand,
- “They’re
- created
- in
- labs,
- then
- given
- to
- people
- to
- see
- who
- is
- strong
- enough
- to
- survive
- them.
- They’re
- trying
- to
- limit
- the
- amount
- of
- people
- in
- the
- world.”
- I
- watch
- him
- stand
- and
- turn
- for
- the
- door.
- “There’s
- a
- lot
- about
- your
- parents
- that
- you
- don’t
- know
- and
- the
- sooner
- you
- realize
- that,
- the
- sooner
- you
- can
- start
- doing

- about
- it.”About
- Deviations
From
- the
- day
- we’re
- born,
- we’re
- introduced
- to
- the
- marvels
- of
- modern
- medicine.
- It
- is
- amazing
- how
- a
- simple
- vaccine
- can
- prevent
- polio,
- hepatitis
- B,
- rotavirus—the
- list
- is
- almost
- endless.
- But,
- what
- if
- that
- were
- no
- longer
- the
- case?
- What
- if
- the
- government
- unleashed
- each
- virus
- for
- the
- sole
- purpose
- of
- controlling
- the
- population?
- Henly
- Sawyer
- finds
- herself
- discovering
- this
- truth
- for
- the
- first
- time,
- and
- as
- she
- does,
- the
- world
- that
- she
- thought
- she
- knew
- shatters.
- She
- wakes
- in
- Aurora,
- a
- quarantine
- miles
- from
- home,
- and
- is
- forced
- into
- a
- grueling
- reality.
- Henly
- strives
- to
- piece
- together
- the
- truth
- about
- her
- parents
- and
- their
- involvement
- in
- the
- unfolding
- chaos.
- With
- the
- help
- of
- her
- new
- friends,
- Renner
- and
- Dex,
- Henly
- sets
- out
- to
- understand
- a
- world
- that
- is
- now
- filled
- with
- Deviations—an
- infected
- group
- of
- violent,
- murderous humans.
