Megan is finally starting high school, and she thinks her biggest problem is going to be Jim, a handsome junior with a major crush on her. He also happens to be a jerk-and best friends with her neighbor, Nick, who's like a brother to her. But when one of their classmates winds up murdered after Nick helps him win an online video game, Megan's romantic troubles quickly fade into the background as a nightmarish reality turns her life upside down. After the FBI starts asking questions about Nick's parents, the three teens suddenly find themselves on the run. Before long, Megan discovers that Nick has strange abilities. Surprised himself, Nick realizes that he's endangering his friends, and before Megan and Jim can stop him, he sneaks away to turn himself in, thinking he can put an end to this strange and tragic tale. But this is just the beginning. There are dark secrets yet to be revealed-and devastating dangers yet to be unleashed. The first in an innovative young adult sci-fi trilogy, Reaction Time: Runner expertly weaves together typical teen issues and intriguing scientific possibilities to create an action-packed adventure with appealing characters you'll be rooting for from start to finish.

Sixteen-year-old Megan Bennett had been frightened nearly out of her mind last year when professional killers from a European Cabal and the FBI chased her, her pretend-brother, Nick, and his best friend, Jim, all over Clallam County, Washington. Nick had not known he was something special until the bullets started flying. But Nick was so special their biology teacher, Mr. Clarke, turned out to be the head of his secret protection detail. She and Jim had survived, but Nick and Mr. Clarke were killed when their SUV exploded. Or so it seemed. Imagine her surprise a year later when she opened her front door and Mr. Clarke stood there. Nick was alive and she could go see him. Only that's not what happened. What happened was a terrorizing series of events which made last year's hunt seem tame. This time a lot more was in the balance than her life. And this time she was going to have to fight back or everything and everyone she loved would be destroyed. Reaction Time-Hostage is book two in a three book series concerning the results of genetic experiments on human embryos. Evolution has already produced rare individuals with bone density eight times normal and others whose blood chemistry produces superhuman muscle strength. Throw in a sociopathic geneticist who thinks the brain can be radically improved with a little trial and error and what could go wrong?
