In the wake of the microbial plague that decimated the world, the bioengineered children of Idlewild have spent the last eighteen years raising the next generation to inherit the Earth-a generation both human and post-human, divided into factions by the genetics used to create them. But as the factions clash over the future of humanity, an even deadlier contagion rises from the ashes of the original virus.

A great follow up to [book: Idlewild] though it can definitely be read without any prior knowledge of its predecessor.
I loved the way that it discussed parenting styles, religion vs. science, and repopulating the earth following a disaster. There was some predictability to the plot. Not really predictability but inevitability that allowed the characters to shine through.
I read Edenborn and thoroughly enjoyed it. Kind of The Stand meets Virus with a little genetic engineering thrown in.
