New Book's Plot Takes Place in East Meadow

"Partials," by Dan Wells, discusses one girl's journey to act as the human race is in jeopardy.

A new book that focuses on one girl's path to question authority as the future of the human race is very much in question, and the safety zone is located in East Meadow.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, author Dan Wells' "Partials" tells the story of the year 2076, when killing machines called partials have spread a virus that has wiped out a majority of the human race.

Kira Walker is one of 40,000 people left, staying safe in East Meadow, and while government officials have began to force women over 18 to reproduce in hopes of producing an immune baby, she seeks an alternative solution.
