Shifter
Jamie Race is on the run. Not surprising when you are the world's first shape shifter. All that stands between Jaime and a lifetime of incarceration are his wits, his shape changing ability and the love of two girls, Amy and Celeste. A clandestine government organisation, known only as the Company, killed his mother and is pursuing him relentlessly. He thought things couldn't get much worse.
Wrong.
Suddenly, he comes across the path of Theo Tanis, a millionaire businessman with a secret life. Jaime's first mistake was discovering Theo's deadly passion. His second was falling for Theo's super model girlfriend, Samantha. Jaime soon learnt it wasn't wise to piss off a rich, lunatic serial killer.
Jamie leads Theo and Dr Locke, the ruthless scientist responsible for his powers, through a wild and hair raising chase through the wilds of outback Australia, his freedom and his life the prize.
If things weren't complicated enough, Jamie also has to deal with the emotional roller coaster of his shape shifting body. When he suddenly develops the ability to change into females things get very confusing. How does a nineteen year old boy of limited sexual experience cope when he suddenly finds that the macho biker, Chad, who saves his life, has the hots for him? Or rather, her! And what is his circus star girlfriend, Celeste, going to say when she learns out that he slept with a biker? Not to mention the gay martial arts instructor, Amy, that falls for him when he is a girl!
All this is a lot to handle for your average, nineteen year old shape shifter.
