As in: she has an electrical undercurrent beneath her skin that stings and surges like a live wire. She can use it - to spark a fire, maybe even end a life - but she doesn't understand what it is. And she can barely control it, especially when she's anxious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRyan Walsh was on track for a stellar football career when his knee blew out. Now he's a soldier - part of an experimental privatised military unit that has identified Jules De Marchi as a threat. Is it because of the weird undercurrent she's tried so hard to hide? Or because of her mother Angie's history as an activist against bio-engineering and big business?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's no coincidence that Ryan and Jules are in the same place at the same time - he's under orders to follow her, after all. But then an explosive attack on a city building by an unknown enemy throws them together in the most violent and unexpected way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaula Weston, author of the much-admired Rephaim series, returns with a standalone work: a near futuristic thriller that is utterly and undeniably thrilling. Great writing, heart-burning characters, probing questions about where technology is taking us - and a plot that zips and zings like an electrical current itself. This is a great young-adult writer at the peak of her powers.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48171410817182,"sku":"UBD-9781925498233","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925498233.jpg?v=1787220674","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925498233","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
