“Kept me turning pages far into the night and made me
late to work. I couldn't stop reading. Characters are not only well-defined,
they are believable and endearing.” Robynne L.
“This was a most enjoyable read. Kept moving along with
a lot of character development without dragging.” Linda C.
Sixteen-year-old Calli Courtnae surprisingly breaks the 100-meter world
record at her high school track meet and is whisked off to Montana to train for
Olympic tryouts. Upon arriving, however, she finds something totally
unexpected. Her fellow athletes are secretive, mysterious, paranoid, uncommonly
beautiful--and endowed with the same gift of superhuman speed she now exhibits.
The truth, Calli learns, is she has been brought to Montana to join an elite
clan of Runners who train to undertake highly secret missions for the benefit
of superhuman kids everywhere.
When three Runners from her compound are kidnapped by a clan of evil
terrorists who can kill with their thoughts, Calli is assigned to the team that
must deliver a rare magic diamond to the terrorists in exchange for the
hostages. Calli is just beginning to accept her new world when it is turned
upside-down by a mysterious woman who secretly gives Calli the real diamond,
while the team leader is given a decoy. Almost immediately the magic diamond in
Calli's pocket unleashes within her a startling range of supernatural powers
and mind-reading abilities. Using her new-found powers, Calli exposes traitors
among her team, has visions of her companions' tragic futures, and learns she
alone holds the power to change the outcome. While Calli knows her powers
derive from the secret diamond in her pocket, her companions do not, and Calli
dreads the fast-approaching day when they will discover the truth.
