“An incredible, dark story of a boy’s rise to power… Not your typical dystopian book… For fans of darker, grittier stuff… A great blend of genetic engineering, warfare and romance!”
—Amazon and Goodreads Reviewers
An exhilarating thrill-ride across a crumbling nation divided by a war over who can possess psychic power, in the vein of films and books like V for Vendetta, The Hunger Games, and Legend by Marie Lu, which follows a teenage telepath born in a lab who cries blood when he gets angry…
17-year-old Michael Cairne is a frustrated dishwasher living in the People’s Republic of America, a prison-state ruled by a tyrannical dictator obsessed with power. He dreams of a new life far away from his oppressors and finally gets his wish – but at a terrible cost.
When a violent encounter with the police leads to the murder of his family, Michael fights back using a telepathic ability he never knew he possessed. Suddenly on the run, he receives a visit from a mysterious revolutionary who claims to know the truth about Michael’s birth in a military lab, where a new breed of soldier was created to help a tyrant wage war over control of the human mind.
The most powerful of these psychic super-soldiers, Michael joins a group of gifted teenagers at a hidden rebel base where he must train in the punishing art of combat telepathy. But he is surrounded by enemies. The military’s deadliest telepathic assassin has just been unleashed, and a girl after Michael’s heart will learn to exploit his greatest weakness, awakening the darkness that stirs within him.
