"A fast-paced science fiction action thriller combining spies, music, and hacking in a truly original plot." -Lauren James, author of The Next Together and The Last Beginning "With charismatic protagonists, sharply self-aware dialogue, and gut-wrenching detail--particularly in the visceral portrayal of X-Core's adverse effects and Ani's haunting recollections of her mother--this tale of ingenuity in the face of insatiable evil is a deeply infectious one." --Booklist "Combining a love of science fiction with modern technology and some very original thinking, this novel takes a look at some of society's preconceived notions from a slightly off-kilter view. . . . Though it takes its time, it never drags, parceling out plot details and worldbuilding in classic thriller fashion. This one's a page-turner." --Kirkus Reviews "Believably written characters and a quick-moving plot distinguish this compelling thriller with an SF twist." --Publishers Weekly "A fast-paced sci-fi thriller for the geek set." --School Library Journal Praise for Mike A.
