Summary:
“[A] rousing mash-up of military SF thriller and paranormal adventure . Scarlett is certainly a resourceful and endearing heroine.”-Web publishers Weekly
What if you had a power you had to cover from everyone-until right now? In this strong sci-fi actions thriller, a top secret training program at West Point can be turning misfits into a new era of heroes.
Scarlett Winter is definitely an outsider, and not just because she’s a hardcore daredevil and delivered troublemaker-she has been hiding superhuman forces she about The Point doesn’t yet understand. Now she’s been recruited with a key West Point unit for cadets with extraordinary abilities. Scarlett and her fellow learners are learning to hone their abilities, from telekinetic combat to operating recon missions through strangers’ dreamscapes. At The Point, Scarlett discovers that she may be the most effective cadet of all. With the power to control real energy, she’s a human nuclear bomb-and she’s not sure she can control her forces much longer.
Even with this military of outsiders, Scarlett feels like a misfit all over again, however when a danger that endangers her fellow college students arises from the school’s dark past, duty phone calls and Scarlett must make a choice between getting herself and becoming something even greater: a hero.
