"The post futuristic US government has gone pro-life to end the 2nd civil war and proposed the "Bill of life". This rule states that human life may not be touched from conception, till the child reaches age 13-18, wherein the parents decide whether to 'abort' the life of the child. An abortion that does not technically kill, leaving children half-dead and half-alive." 
 ^ Summarization right there said it all. 
 Sci-fi and action packed, this novel practically reminded me of the movie "The Island" directed by Michael Bay, and if you love that movie, 'course you'll love this too! This book stayed loyal and concrete to its concept till the last part of the dystology, PLUS- even the romance DID NOT OVEREMPHASIZED THE MORE SERIOUS CONFLICT. 
 However, I felt the characters were disregarded a bit though, seems like, the intorduction about them was too short or too little that I cannot bring myself to be indulged into the character's throes of passion, goals, desire etc... perhaps starting off with a heavy plot kinda leaves little space to expound the significance of the roles the main charcters play... 
 I honestly give it 4 stars.
