Matt Alacran was not born. He was harvested.
His DNA came from El Patron, the leader of the country of Opium - a strip of poppy fields in between the United States and what used to be Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided in a petri dish. Later he was placed inside a womb of a cow, where miraculously, he was born.
He is a boy now. And a monster.
Everyone hates him - except El Patron, who loves Matt like himself. Matt is himself.
Now Matt is struggling to find his own identity and his part in the world, but he faces many sinister enemies that gets in the way of his search, including El Patron's power hungry family.
Escape is the only way Matt can get away from it all. But escape does not immediatly guaratee freedom, because Matt is marked in more ways than he could ever imagine.
This book was amazing and very suspenceful. The book took many unsuspecting turns and twists that kept me reading until the end and I couldn't stop. This book seemed very real since cloning is possible nowadays. It also brung up the issues of cloning.
