    Julie C. Gilbert, Julie Hinton

    Audible Audiobook (Julie C. Gilbert, May 24, 2017)
    Genetically altering humans is illegal... But Varick and his siblings - Devya's Children - exist. He's been born and bred to be the perfect soldier, but he can't be everywhere. If one counts each of his siblings plus Danielle Matheson, the list of people Varick wants to protect stretches from coast to coast. The more he gets to know Danielle, the more she comes to mean to him. Meanwhile, somebody has captured Nadia and wants to sell her to the highest bidder. Varick's lifelong quest has been to free her from their father, Dr. Dean Devya. But nobody knows where to find Nadia, except Dr. Carnasis, and she's a captive as well. Meanwhile, Danielle and Jillian have also disappeared. Varick might be able to pull off one rescue, but can he save them all?

    Genetically altering humans is illegal …But Varick and his siblings—Devya’s Children—exist. Interview with the Author:Q: What makes the Devya’s Children series special? A: At the heart, this series is about family and friendship as well as the ethical questions surrounding genetic engineering. It’s been likened to the Orphan Black TV show. I like to think of it as a more family-friendly take on those themes. The premise is that a brilliant scientist and his team created several genetically altered children who have special Gifts, such as telepathy, healing, and dream shaping. The journal/letters style is not unique to this series, but I believe ultimately it suits my need to get in these people’s heads. I’ve worked very hard to fill the books with relatable characters. Some of them happen to have superpowers, but as Jillian points out, everybody has gifts, if not Gifts. It’s just a matter of finding out what those gifts are and how they can be applied for the good of the world.Q: What order should I read them in?A: I suggest the traditional order of:- Ashlynn’s Dreams- Nadia’s Tears- Malia’s Miracles- Varick’s Quest … before jumping into the prequel—The Dark Side of Science—or the Ashlynn’s Dreams Shorts. The prequel and the short stories can certainly be read as standalones, but they may be more enjoyable once the reader’s already familiar with some of the characters.Q: Where does this book fit in the series? What theme(s) make it special?A: Varick’s Quest returns a bit to the starting theme of kidnapping. Varick wants nothing more than to free Nadia, but Jillian, Danielle, and his other siblings also mean a lot to him. He’s got a ton of awesome skills, but what good does all that do him if he can’t be in more than one place at a time? Who would you save? That’s a question Varick’s faced with. I wanted to explore more questions of love and loyalty. Having power of any sort usually means somebody out there either wants to exploit you or overthrow you as it were. Q: Why should readers check out this series?A: Because Devya’s Children will introduce you to a charming cast of characters dealing with some big issues. Right or wrong, the children exist, so now what? If you have the power to change the world, should you? What are the personal cost and consequences of shaping the world? These are all questions explored by the series.Q: Can the reader get the whole series at once?A: Readers can grab books 1-3 in a combination. I’ve not bundled in Book 4 yet, but hop on over to my amazon author page or website to get plugged in and keep up with the current promos.
