Amy thinks being perfect can be a real drag. Everyone expects her to behave responsibly and to use her extraordinary talents for good. But when she meets one of her clones--an unexpected Amy, Number Thirteen, who goes by the name Aly--she gets a taste of normal teen life and wants more. Aly is a reject from Project Crescent. She runs with a wild crowd whose motto is Good Times Now! She convinces Amy to hang loose and have fun. Drawn by Aly''s free spirit, Amy rejects her genetic roots. But Aly''s carefree ways come at a high cost. . . .

Do you know who you are? Andy’s life is a puzzle–even to him. He knows he’s a clone, but other facts remain sketchy. Now he’s on a quest to uncover the truth about the ties his “father” has to the organization–facts that jolt Andy back to past events and that ultimately determine his future. Is Andy’s “mother” really dead? Was he ever really kidnapped? Who is really out to get him? The deeper Andy probes for answers, the more he and Amy learn shocking truths about Project Crescent . . . and about their beginnings.

Amy fears the organization is monitoring her every move. That’s what Andy tells her — before he disappears. He says they’ve both been implanted with a chip. Is there anywhere Amy can hide? The answer seems to lie in a computer game. A game into which Amy downloads her consciousness. A game in which fantastic creatures and terrifying dangers lurk at every turn. A game that Amy suspects is being played in real life . . . by someone with sinister intentions. Amy must get to the end of the game — ahead of whoever’s trying to finish her off.

No one can identify the cause of the mysterious disease. There’s evidence that the bacteria infected human genes as much as a million years ago. Back in the prehistoric age. Back when dinosaurs roamed the land. Back when cavepeople communicated in grunts and gestures. And the bacteria has been dormant—until now. Amy’s refined genes make her immune to this terrible plague. But when someone close to her shows symptoms of the disease, Amy will do anything to help find a cure. The only way: traveling back to the time when it all began . . .

When twelve-year-old Amy becomes ill and loses her powers, she suspects that it''s connected to the new teen club that has opened near her school.

The gripping conclusion of a Replica miniseries! Being perfect isn’t a big deal to Amy–until word gets out that she’s a clone. Now everyone shuns her, and she’s getting mad. She starts to believe that the organization has the right idea: The world would be a better place if only Project Crescent clones existed. With a little help, Amy gets what she wishes for. She enters a world where everyone is just like her. But even perfection has its flaws. . . .
