I really enjoyed this story. The idea of it is quite possible and I think that is what gave it the humm factor along with great scenes.
A pharmaceutical company is doing illegal experiments by splicing human and animal (canine/feline, etc) DNA. They take the children with the spliced DNA and raise them in numerous labs. They do horrible experiments on them to test/create drugs for humans that would allow humans to heal faster, fight harder, etc... The children who are subjected to these tests and injections grow up to become the New Species. Some humans risk their lives to expose the atrocities that are occurring in these labs to free the New Species. Once the New Species are free they set up life on an Army base called Homeland with the help from the government. Through the book you have your pure human extremist groups that are trying to eliminate the New Species plus humans within Homeland that think the New Species are just a bunch of animals.
This story follows Ellie and Fury. Ellie is a human that works in one of the labs and is recruited to find enough evidence to allow the powers that be to get search warrants for the labs. Ellie has always been attracted to Fury and vice versa. Fury is one of the New Species. On the day that Ellie has enough evidence, an unfortunate incident occurs in Furys cell which forces Ellie to make a decision that Fury feels betrays him. They meet up again when Fury is free and 2nd in command of the New Species. I really liked this story, so much that I'm debating making this a keeper and I don't do keepers. I can't wait to read the rest of the series and I hope it doesn't disappoint. The only thing that drove me nuts was how Furys people didnt trust him. They would automatically jump to the wrong conclusion where Fury was concerned and lock him up or keep him away from Ellie. Characters from future books are either mentioned or take secondary roles.
