Part of the Uglies series
A super soldier must choose between duty and a forgotten past.
Tally, now a Special, is a powerful enforcer in a world where conformity reigns. Programmed to suppress rebels, she faces a critical choice: follow her mission or heed the whispers of her past. As she confronts the New Smoke, Tally must decide if her enhanced abilities are worth the cost of her humanity. Will she crush the rebellion or rediscover her true self? Her decision will alter her world forever, challenging everything she thought she knew about strength and freedom.
The third installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series–a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend. Tally thought they were a rumor, but now she’s one of them. A Special. A super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isn’t better than anything she’s ever known. Tally still has memories of something else. Still, it’s easy to tune that out–until she’s offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she’s programmed to complete. Either way, Tally’s world will never be the same.
