The Darwin Incident Vol. 06

This award-winning series marries a unique sci-fi set-up with an examination of social issues surrounding veganism, animal exploitation, and ecoterrorism.

Charlie, Lucy, and the others head to New York City in search of any clue that will lead them to the mysterious Dr. Grossman, who seems to be at the center of everything. But Omelas and the ALA are on the move as well, and their tactics are changing. It’s guerrilla warfare in the streets as terror grips the entire nation—!!

Series overview: The Animal Liberation Alliance, an eco-terrorist organization, rescues a pregnant chimpanzee from an animal testing lab only for it to give birth to a half-human, half-chimpanzee “humanzee” named Charlie! Fifteen years later, Charlie’s human foster parents are finally ready to send him to a normal high school, where he makes his first friend: a human girl named Lucy. In the meantime, however, the ALA’s stance has become ever more extreme, and now they’re here to drag Charlie into their terrorist plot.
