Superpowers and conspiracy collide in these unmissable, action-packed sci-fi thrillers by A.G. Taylor.
A meteorite has struck earth without warning, unleashing a deadly alien virus. Thousands fall victim... but not Sarah and Robert.
Instead they develop strange side effects – psychic abilities. And that makes them a target for HIDRA, a rogue international agency determined to turn them into lab rats, just like the other kids they’ve already captured – kids who can control fire, create storms and tear steel with their minds.
If they can work together, these kids might just stand a chance...
"A brilliant kids' thriller. Perfect for the cinema generation."
Waterstones.com
"There's a cinematic quality to this adrenalin-fuelled adventure."
The Bookseller
"A heart-racing, hair-raising and vibrantly visual hybrid of Heroes, X-Men and Lost, this story really has got the lot..."
Lancashire Evening Post
"…a gripping plot involving alien viruses, psychic powers, and a world in which the roles of children and adults are suddenly and shockingly confused."
