It seems that there is no hope left for the remnants of humanity. Instead, all babies have continued to sicken at birth and to die hours later. To try to counter deaths caused by the RM virus, government enacted the Hope Act which required women of a certain age to have babies in the hope that some might survive. The youngest child, Saladin, is now fourteen years old. Since the Break, every human baby born has died from the RM virus. No one has seen a Partial in eleven years. Meanwhile, the Partials disappeared, retreating inland. There they organized a government consisting of twenty senators and built a Defense Grid to protect themselves. The survivors of the war and the virus, retreated to Long Island where they found food and shelter. Only a small percentage of humans were immune and survived the pandemic, but any children born afterwards, continued to die. The Partials released the RM virus, a specially designed virus that quickly killed virtually every human being on the planet. Faster and stronger than ordinary humans, linked to one another and highly efficient, they easily wiped them out. The Partials were built by a company called ParaGen to fight in the Isolation War, which they won handily. Mankind has been destroyed by the Partials who are genetically "engineered organic beings identical to humans". Partials tells the story of a post-apocalyptic society in what was the eastern seaboard of the United States in the year 2076.
