If you could have any superpower, what would it be? For me, it was flying.
I should have been more careful what I wished for...
Seventeen-year-old Tyler is smart, good-looking, and destined to be a fighter pilot. He's mapped out his life and knows exactly where he's headed.
Until, high in the Californian sky, he suddenly undergoes a terrifying transformation. The video instantly goes viral. Now, everyone wants a piece of him, including the sinister Evolutionary Corporation and the Angelist religious cult.
With nowhere to hide, scared and confused, Tyler goes on the run. All he has are his wits and the clothes on his back. Oh, and two enormous birdlike wings...
But he's not alone. Around the world, others like him see the footage of his accident. Driven by instinct, they band together, trying to understand their new bodies and their new reality. How has this happened? Why them? Why now?
With corporate mercenaries, bounty hunters, wannabe influencers, and religious fanatics breathing down their necks, they have only one way to survive.
Fly.
If Maximum Ride, The Hunger Games, Maze Runner, and Divergent left you wanting more, then you will love Generation Icarus. After a wild journey from the top of the charts in Science Fiction on Wattpad, to sold-out and award-winning status in the author's home country, optioned for TV before it was even published and translated into several languages, this revamped edition will take you on the flight of a lifetime.
Read now and join the Flight for survival!
Praise for Generation Icarus:
I've been hanging out for this book for, literally, years. I loved it on Wattpad and was super excited when it got picked up by a real publisher, I didn't think it could get any better but the wait has been WORTH IT. Diversity, action, emotion, humour, and FLYING. What more could you ask for? - Amazon Reviewer
Seriously, this book gives you everything you'd want in the YA genre. Strong leading female characters, diverse and developed characters, heart racing action sequences, with a little romance sprinkled in ... This book has the workings of a magical TV show. You literally cannot go wrong with Generation Icarus. - Amazon Reviewer
Can't wait for the next one. The story sucks you in right from the beginning and it doesn't let up. - Amazon Reviewer
