THE BODY ELECTRIC IS A NEW, FULL-LENGTH SCI FI NOVEL BY BETH REVIS. THE FULL NOVEL IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FROM ALL MAJOR RETAILERS. THIS SAMPLE COMPRISES ROUGHLY 1/3 OF THE TOTAL BOOK. The future world is at peace. Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift-the ability to enter people's dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother-to help others relive their happy memories. But not all is at it seems. Ella starts seeing impossible things-images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust. Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience-and influence-the memories of traitors. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love-even though Ella's never met him before in her life. Which can only mean one thing... Someone's altered her memory. Ella's gift is enough to overthrow a corrupt government or crush a growing rebel group. She is the key to stopping a war she didn't even know was happening. But if someone else has been inside Ella's head, she cannot trust her own memories, thoughts, or feelings. So who can she trust?

The only thing worse than forgetting her past . . . is remembering it. When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe. Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world. Crippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she’s running out of time to answer them. Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget?

Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home--and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life. Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin--a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever. Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost.
