So despite my copy of this being an annoying PDF that wasn't easy to read at all (I love ARC kindle books, more kindle books please!) I actually quite enjoyed this book. I found the plot enticing and the action entertaining.
The story begins with Matilda, part of a team of scientists looking after future generations of babies grown in artificial wombs. She was one of the first who entered the world this way herself and now takes care of the new generations in the laboratory. Specimen: a human child grown in an artificial womb. Like her, these specimens will have no childhood. Like her, they will be born and programmed for war, conditioned to confront an unseen enemy that terrorizes society.

This was a really great book and I thoroughly recommend it to people who enjoy YA science fiction and light science fiction (I'm not scientist and I found it very easy to follow and understand).
