ENHANCED: Evolution Rising
ENHANCEDA Young Adult Sci-Fi Thriller
Book DescriptionWhen twelve-year-old Max Henderson discovers he can move objects with his mind, he thinks his biggest problem is hiding his abilities from his classmates. He's wrong.
Max's telekinetic powers are growing stronger by the day, and he's not the only one who's noticed. A secret government program called Project Mindbridge has been hunting children like Max for years—kidnapping them, experimenting on them, and turning them into living weapons.
When federal agents close in on Max's quiet suburban life, he's forced to run. With the help of his brilliant friend Isabella Martinez, a tech-savvy hacker who believes enhanced individuals are the next step in human evolution, Max uncovers the horrifying forty-three children are currently imprisoned in government facilities, subjected to medical experiments and psychological conditioning that strips away their humanity.
But Max is more powerful than Project Mindbridge realizes. As his abilities evolve beyond simple telekinesis to include pyrokinesis, electromagnetic manipulation, and reality-bending powers that defy explanation, he faces an impossible hide and let other enhanced children suffer in captivity, or fight back against the most powerful government in the world.
From the Nevada desert to live television broadcasts that captivate the globe, Max's journey from frightened boy to revolutionary leader will determine the future of enhanced humanity. In a world where being different makes you a target, sometimes the only way to protect the innocent is to become the thing your enemies fear most.
Enhanced is a pulse-pounding thriller about power, responsibility, and the courage to stand up for what's right—even when the odds are impossible and the cost is everything you've ever known.
Perfect for fans of X-Men, Stranger Things, and The Darkest Minds.
