About this ebook

The sequel to the critically acclaimed The God Wave is a “fast-paced, thought-provoking techno-thriller” about a coup by genetically engineered humans (Publishers Weekly).

Chuck Brenton had a simple idea: if brain waves can make the needles on an EEG machine move, why couldn’t they be trained to move other things? He and mathematician Matt Streegman developed an astonishing program that enabled a group of highly select individuals—test subjects they called the Alphas—to use their brains to manipulate both physical and digital objects. Their goal was to increase man’s potential and make the world safer.

But when their secret program was discovered, the military stepped in to take control—and unwittingly began a battle that could spell the end of humankind. A trio of renegade Alphas have used their enhanced powers to take the world hostage. Though they say they want world peace, the rebels seem willing to sacrifice countless innocent lives to achieve their goals.

Horrified by what he has unleashed, Chuck is determined to stop the monsters he’s created, no matter the risks. Coming out of hiding, he and his team must wield their own burgeoning abilities to defeat the increasingly unstable superhuman terrorists.

Yet not everyone believes what the Alphas are doing is wrong. A cadre of supporters sees them as the next phase in human evolution and is eager to watch them burn down society on their way to transcendence. . . .

“I can’t wait to read what happens next.” —James Rollins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Sigma Force series

    Chuck Brenton, along with several of his team members, have escaped Deep Shield and formed an uneasy alliance with a group known as the Benefactors. They, too, have learned to use their super-abilities, although via a completely different process than used by the Alphas. When those remaining in the mountain stronghold threaten to unleash their powers unless the world meets their demands, Church realizes he must stop the terrorists no matter what the risk. The renegade Alphas claim they only want world peace and are willing to use their powers to achieve it, but they have no thought or concern for how many innocents are lost in the process. But Chuck soon finds there are others who support the terrorism of the Alphas, believing that this is the next step in human evolution. This narrative, the second in the trilogy, continues the story of neuroscientist Chuck Brenton and the super-abilities gained by training brain waves to manipulate objects. Plausible events strengthen this technological thriller as do the believable characters, situations, and the continuing development of the characters’ super-abilities. The fast pace of the unfolding plot keeps readers on the edge of their seats and the mounting tension keeps the pages turning.Highly recommended.
