The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke

An interesting book set in an entirely new world—the ocean.

14 – 16; 16 – 18; Adult

Nere lives in a post-apocalyptic world which is ruled by the cruel Western Collective. The world’s temperature is rising, and all hope for mankind seems lost. But some scientists have come up with a desperate plan for the continuation of the human race: the Neptune project. They’ve genetically changed the makeup of the kids in the Neptune Project giving them all sorts of abilities to help them survive underwater. Nere, unknowingly and unwillingly, is a part of it. Once she is fully transformed, the above world is lost to her. However, the depths of the ocean are not a safe place to be, and Nere has a long journey before she reaches safety.
