About this item
For fans of Uglies comes a spiraling, intense sci fi thriller.Control blew me away. The twists and turns and suspense made for a thrilling ride. Zel is as authentic a character as Ive read in a very long time. Highly recommended - James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze RunnerSet in 2150 -- in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms -- this is about the human genetic mistakes that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes.When their overprotective father is killed in a terrible accident, Zel and her younger sister, Dylia, are lost in grief. But its not until strangers appear, using bizarre sensory weapons, that the life they had is truly eviscerated.
