Chosen for their unique DNA profiles and taken from their
homes as children, seven teenagers have endured a decade of experimentation,
surgeries, and gene-splicing as part of the world-changing project of a
geneticist bent on creating the next evolution of man. As a result of the
experiments, each of the seven is imbued with the potential for a different
superhuman ability. As they near adulthood, the experiment finally begins to
show results, but the effects are worse than any of them could have predicted.
When an attempt to escape the lab goes horribly awry, the seven are forced to
face down the paramilitary army of the syndicate that founded the experiment
that created them, or lose the only family they have left: Each other.
My review:
I sat next to Sean at a book fair and purchased
The Seven. I finally got around to reading it over the last few days and
honestly looked forward to the time I spent in his world. The characters were
well-rounded, heroic, and full of wonderful teenaged angst despite the things
they were going through.
Each character gradually comes into his or her own as the genetic manipulation of scientists and the government attempt to reprogram humans (or subjects/experiments) in weaponized creatures in a mad plot to...
For those who love all the fantasy and sci-fi YA stuff of genetic manipulation (and even more scary-real every day), X-men, and all that funky stuff--you'll love these kids and how they put their brave on. I agree, could have used another proof-read, but hopefully you'll go ahead and do that soon, and put up another revised edition.

Sean Patrick Little lives in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin,
although he considers Mount Horeb, Wisconsin his home. He likes progressive
rock music and comic books. If you buy him a diet Cherry Coke, he'll thank you
for it.
