Sixteen Sixteen: Bad Blood, (Paperback)

<p><i>Bad Blood</i> follows Sixteen into the widening fallout of the Novachrome Program, where its stolen remnants have crossed borders and mutated into something looser, uglier, and harder to contain. What begins as a mission to recover a vanished boy becomes a pursuit through desert and borderland, where incomplete genetic work has been weaponized by traffickers, mercenaries, and men hiding behind humanitarian fronts.</p><p>Hunted and hunting, Sixteen moves through hostile country with a small, fractured team bound by necessity rather than trust. The terrain is unforgiving. The enemies are patient. And somewhere ahead waits the living proof that Novachrome's damage did not end when the program burned. The past has teeth, and it is learning.</p><p><i>Bad Blood</i> is a story of pursuit and collision between creation and creator, control and instinct, civilization and the violence it pretends to outlaw. Sixteen is no savior and no martyr. She survives because she was made to, and because she understands what the world refuses to admit: that some evils do not vanish when exposed, and some weapons cannot be recalled once released.</p><p>Lean, brutal, and atmospheric, <i>Bad Blood</i> expands the Sixteen saga into darker territory, where bloodlines matter, consequences spread, and escape is never clean.</p>
