About Human by Antionette van der Gryp:
A dystopian wasteland. A community built on lies. An action-packed love story told from the perspective of two people who could save what is left of humanity or destroy it.
After genetically cloned creatures called Gaders multiply on Earth beyond what the human race can handle, the only working government is the Circle. The only problem is, the Circle has secrets and Vin Montgomery knows that all too well.
After disappearing ten years ago, she returns to Jericho, a military community embedded in a vast cave system. Her estranged husband, Matthew Washington, is now General and he doesn’t trust her. On top of that, Circle agents are pursuing her. Would she be able to lead this rebellion and expose the Circle’s lies? Or would she run like she did ten years ago?
Human is a fast-paced dystopian novel set in a Gader-ridden wasteland, run by a military regime called the Circle. Within the relative safety of a cave system, a small community has adapted to life in the Gader reality, but underneath the surface, secrets threaten the only way of life they know.

Author Bio:
Born in apartheid South Africa, I grew up in a country torn apart by political conflict. The dangers were present and real, but it either breaks you or it tempers you like steel in fire. From my childhood experiences and heavily influenced by life in the wilds of Africa I soon developed an adventurous nature. This is very evident in my books. I hope you enjoy them.
