Hal Small: A Coming of Age Sci-fi Dystopian Action Adventure

By Marisa Noelle

Hal Small lost everything the day the enhancements became mandatory-his wife, his child, his faith in the system.

He was once a football star-enhanced, powerful, unstoppable. But when a government mandate forces all unadjusted citizens to submit to nanite modification, Hal's world shatters. His wife is murdered. His son is taken. And his strength means nothing against the machine of control.

Now a fugitive hiding in the Great Woods, Hal joins a growing resistance of outcasts, rebels, and altered allies with nothing left to lose. Together, they train for the fight of their lives-against a regime determined to erase the unenhanced, and a future where choice is no longer an option.

But can one broken man turn his grief into a weapon powerful enough to take down an immortal army?

What does it take to stay human in a world that no longer values humanity?

If you loved Divergent, The Hunger Games, or Maze Runner, you'll love Hal Small, an Unadjusteds companion novella by award-wining author, Marisa Noelle.

A gripping, fast-paced story set in a world where genetic enhancements rule. Paige is a strong, defiant heroine fighting for survival in a system designed to erase her. Tense, emotional, and impossible to put down
