Ishcate was rescued out of a Russian lab, where she was created in a vial. Now, she's the leading researcher of her own messed-up genetics. Her only concern is to become more than the girl in the vial, until a strange outbreak suggests someone might be interested in creating more people like her.

Anna is an average 16 year-old girl who never considered herself special. But suddenly she starts experiencing strange symptoms, and doctors are telling her she's caught... a genetic mutation?

#1 - Nick Webster by websterandsmith

In an alternative universe, the tension between the Russians and Americans lasts much longer than through the 1980s. In fact, after years of experimenting, the Russian government has finally created young, living super soldiers. Their scientists have made breakthroughs in neurobiology, the structure of human DNA, and embryology that allows them to miraculously create several human traits together and then nurture and grow these artificial humans in an incubation chamber. Dozens of these experiments have failed over the last several decades, but there is finally a breakthrough in 2005. However, this breakthrough is a tragic end for the scientists who helped create and grow this artificial human. Waking up in the middle of the summer in a Russian laboratory, Nick breaths his first breath and starts his journey in this new world. He knows nothing of the language or the world around him, but he has help navigating with the help of another artificial human. Cursed with a violent start to his life, Nick and his friend must run from the Russian government across the globe just to survive. These two start their journey in Russia, manage to make it to France, and find their final destination the United States of America, which they understand is the home of the free and the brave. However, they learn reality is not always what it seems. Join Nick and Nikki as they seek to live a normal life in America, despite everything about them and the life they live being everything but normal.

The Typhon Project by MelindaFriesen

Radiation is decimating the human race. When the Earth's magnet field fails, only the best and brightest young people are selected for genetic modifications that will save them. Leah is among the few chosen to survive. But losing her family and the physical changes caused by the modifications leave her devastated--she hates looking in the mirror at the creature she's become. She's transported to The Farm to be with others of her kind, but when she sneaks from the compound one night, she meets a boy, a human boy, seemingly unaffected by the radiation, who reveals a wild conspiracy theory about the genetic modifications and the very nature of the magnet field failure. His theories could be tumor-induced paranoia. Or he could be telling the a truth.

Mutation by MeganWritesBooks

It was just a normal day for Hazel Roberts and Leo Esteban. They thought they would go to school, take a huge history test that neither of them were prepared for, then go home and text each other for the rest of the afternoon. Typical teenager's day, right? Well on one particular day, the two best friends experienced something that would change their lives. A bomb explodes inside of their school while Hazel and Leo were still inside. They should have died from the impact, but something caused them to survive. The reaction of the explosion caused the two of them to develop powerful mutations that give them amazing abilities. Soon those abilities are put to the test when they have to fight for their lives. There are more mutants, like Hazel and Leo, around the world who are considered illegal in the cruel new society of humans who hate people who aren't normal. Every mutant in the world has to rebel against the "Normals" and make things right in the world. Hazel and Leo are two teenagers who will do anything to make things right again, and yearn for that "typical teenager day" again.
