Adaptation

A bold science-fiction thriller duology reissue from New York Times bestselling author Malinda Lo. Perfect for fans of The X-Files and Stranger Things.

Reese can’t remember anything from the time between the accident and the day she woke up almost a month later. She only knows one thing: she’s different now.

Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash and killing thousands of people. Fearing terrorism, the United States government grounds all flights, leaving millions of travelers stranded.

Reese and her debate team partner, and longtime crush, David are in Arizona when it happens and decide to drive back home to San Francisco. But on their way, along a stretch of empty highway at night in the middle of Nevada, a bird flies into their headlights, and the car flips. When they wake up in a military hospital, the doctor won’t tell them what happened, where they are—or how they’ve been miraculously healed.

Things become even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco feels like a different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in an entirely new direction—and threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep secret.
