Right now Julie really only has 2 chances. One is if Ivy does what she thinks is right, instead of what she's being paid to do. And the other is a scientist from HenRi who's beginning to realize just how far off-track this project has become. I really like this book. Terry Moore is one hell of a writer. I can't believe how far we've come in just 14 issues. I believe the first 10 or 12 issues are already out in 2 TPBs. You should definitely check them out . . if you can.
