Factory (Egan)

Welcome back to the Factory in The Experiment, the highly anticipated sequel to The Factory that Kirkus called a "thrilling and complex beginning to what will surely be a sought-after series"! It's been only moments since Asher Doyle came face-to-face with Director Mach on the rooftop of the Factory -- a matter of seconds since he set off a time bomb that would leave him and the director frozen in time. At least it felt that way to Asher. But he was wrong. In reality, twenty years have passed since that fateful night. Twenty birthdays, and yet Asher is still the same thirteen-year-old boy he was only seconds ago. Asher Doyle, the boy whom time forgot. And it get's worse: Not only is his best friend, Vi, twenty years older -- she's now director of the Factory, the evil place they swore to expose and bring down. What could possibly have happened to make her switch sides? As Asher wraps his head around all he's lost, he'll need the help of a new group of friends to piece his life together -- if he can make it out of the Factory alive . . . Praise for The Factory "Budding dystopian and science-fiction readers will thrill at this gripping, fast-paced story with a cliffhanger ending . . . a thrilling and complex beginning to what will surely be a sought-after series." -- Kirkus Reviews Catherine Egan grew up in Vancouver, Canada.
