Publisher's Synopsis
That they've created a human clone is not the secret they're killing to keep...where the DNA came from is.
Sixteen years ago, five-year-old Jesse Daniel Messenger was targeted for termination. The Committee thought they'd succeeded in erasing all evidence of the illegal cloning experiment in a fiery explosion that killed Jesse and his protectors, Travis Brody and Janey Carmichael. They were wrong. With new names, a new home and a boatload of secrets, Kevin and Maggie Jacobson rebuild their lives giving their son, Dylan and their new baby daughter, Tina, as normal a childhood as they could provide.Now, over a decade and a half later, their ordinary lives come unraveled the day before Thanksgiving when Dylan and Tina watch their home erupt into flames.
Their parents' greatest fears have come to pass . . . The Committee has found them. Dylan and Tina have no time to grieve over the deaths of their parents as they run for their lives. From frantic car chases, dodging gunfire and near-death experiences, this brother and sister find their strength in each other as they seek out who betrayed their family. Fiercely loyal to each other in spite of the derisive quips, they must pit their wits against an unknown enemy as they try to figure out who they can trust. With each terrifying event, Dylan must dig deeper into his dormant gifts to save them. As they push for answers, more questions arise: 1) where Dylan's powers come from and 2) why he has had a target on his back since the day he was born. When the chairman of the Committee kidnaps Dylan's girlfriend, in an attempt to force him to turn himself over, Dylan isn't sure he will be able to control his rapidly growing powers as rage consumes him.
