" The stats: Partials is the next novel from horror fiction writer, Dan Wells. It will be available in stores starting February 28. The gist: It&amp;#039;s the year 2067, and 99.9% of the world&amp;#039;s population has been killed due to a deadly new virus, RM, released by the Partials, artificial intelligence machines who revolted against their human creators. Kira is a medic in the maternity ward in East Meadow, one of the last human communities on the planet, trying to discover why their babies keep dying. She realizes that the only cure for RM lies in the Partials themselves, and must risk everything on a quest for the survival of her own race.  Our favorite part: While their are tons of exciting scenes and unexpected twists in the plot, one of our favorite small details is the old iPods that Kira and her friends find around their community on Long Island. The personalized engravings on the music players are a chilling reminder of how much of the world was lost with the release of the RM virus, and how much we take for granted in present time. You&amp;#039;ll love it if... you love action, thriller novels. Yes, it&amp;#039;s another post-Hunger Games postapocalyptic story, but this one feels more real and exciting than some of the others we&amp;#039;ve recently read.  Which twist surprised you the most? Which side did you trust the most? Sound off in the comments after you&amp;#039;ve read it! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
