What happens when you turn eighteen and there are no more tomorrows?
It is the year 2049, and humanity is on the brink of extinction….
Tania
Deeley has always been told that she’s a rarity: a human child in a
world where most children are sophisticated androids manufactured by
Oxted Corporation. When a decline in global fertility ensued, it was the
creation of these near-perfect human copies called teknoids that helped
to prevent the utter collapse of society.
Though she has always
been aware of the existence of teknoids, it is not until her first day
at The Lady Maud High School for Girls that Tania realizes that her best
friend, Siân, may be one. Returning home from the summer holiday, she
is shocked by how much Siân has changed. Is it possible that these
changes were engineered by Oxted? And if Siân could be a teknoid, how
many others in Tania’s life are not real?
Driven by the need to
understand what sets teknoids apart from their human counterparts, Tania
begins to seek answers. But time is running out. For everyone knows
that on their eighteenth “birthdays,” teknoids must be returned to
Oxted—never to be heard from again.

Twenty years ago, the robots designed to fight our wars abandoned the battlefields. Then they turned their weapons on us.
Only a few escaped the robot revolution of 2071. Kevin, Nick, and Cass are lucky —they live with their parents in a secret human community in the woods. Then their village is detected and wiped out. Hopeful that other survivors have been captured by bots, the teens risk everything to save the only people they have left in the world—by infiltrating a city controlled by their greatest enemies.
Revolution 19 is a cinematic thriller unlike anything else. With a dynamic cast of characters, this surefire blockbuster has everything teen readers want—action, drama, mystery, and romance. Written by debut novelist Gregg Rosenblum, this gripping story shouldn’t be missed.
