Faith Daniels and Dylan Gilmore are two of only five people with an extra pulse, giving them strange and amazing abilities well beyond those of normal teenagers. But life in 2051 is anything but normal.

They’ve already faced off against the Quinn twins, teens who have extra pulses along with really bad attitudes. Clara was responsible for murdering Faith’s best friend, and Faith has vowed vengeance. The fifth extra pulse is Gretchen, the twins’ mother, who has a military mind and the desire to change the world to something beyond twisted. Faith, Dylan and their computer-geek friend, Hawk, set out to discover where the Quinns are hiding. Surveillance leads them to an abandoned prison in the Colorado mountains, which they decide to infiltrate by having Dylan establish contact with Andre, the twins’ father, who just happens to be his father as well. But this won’t be a happy family reunion; it’s just the best chance they have to discover what the Quinns have been planning…and to stop it if they can. The second installment in this trilogy keeps the pace moving and provides additional background to flesh out the characters’ back stories.

It all leads up to a tantalizing glimpse of what’s yet to come in the final volume
