Reseña del editor:

IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF AMERICA, even the smallest sign of rebellion is punishable by death. A guarded stone wall encloses the nation and separates it from the rest of the war-torn and lawless countryside. The government uses "ments" - individuals with subtle telepathic abilities - to monitor the population and enforce its tyrannical laws. 17-year-old Michael Cairne discovers he is one of these gifted telepaths, only his ability is much more dangerous. He is the result of a government experiment that turned him into a weapon. His mother gave her life to smuggle him out of captivity when he was a baby. Now, the man who killed her, Harris Kole, is the dictator of the People's Republic and will stop at nothing to get Michael back and finish his twisted experiments. Aided by a former trainer of telepathic soldiers, an assassin who can move faster than the eye can see, and a beautiful girl with a rare empathic gift of her own, Michael will escape into the ruins of Colorado to live with other gifted outcasts. Here, in the former ghost town known as Gulch, he will meet a band of allies - and enemies - that will test everything he has become, and ignite in him a passion so fierce it will bring an entire nation to its knees.

IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF AMERICA, even the smallest sign of rebellion is punishable by death. The government uses "ments"--individuals with telepathic abilities--to enforce its tyrannical measures. 17-year-old Michael Cairne is one of these gifted people, only he doesn't know it yet. Unlike other ments, Michael's ability is dangerous. He is the result of a government experiment that left him an orphan and was a resounding success. But Michael was the only one who came out of it alive. Now, Harris Kole, the nation's cruel dictator and also the man who killed Michael's mother, will stop at nothing to get him back. Aided by a former military officer with a mysterious link to Michael's birth, and a beautiful girl with a rare gift of her own, Michael will cross the border into the ruins of Colorado to live with other outcasts like him. Here, through an unexpected romance and a twisted betrayal, he will discover the true extent of what his mind can create, and the lives that it can destroy. He will learn the terrible cost of love, and the reason that men make war.
