Maxwell's Demon

by Rob Leininger

While attempting to psychically locate a submarine in a top-secret defense facility in Maryland, a well-known psychic dies an inexplicable death; at the same moment, three thousand miles away, the commander of the submarine she was trying to detect dies in the same impossible way. Hours later, a beautiful catatonic girl, Angel, in a Rhode Island mental hospital escapes. And near San Francisco, Josh Anders, age 13, with an IQ of 170, is at the center of this storm. He has the power of Maxwell's Demon, a concept proposed by James Clerk Maxwell in 1871. On the run with Angel, Josh is hunted by the FBI, the CIA, and Russian commandos. Due to his ability to control the probabilistic dance of atoms and molecules, Josh is thought by the U.S. and the Russian military to be the most dangerous person on the planet. But all Josh wants is to have his family back and his life to return to normal, unaware that what he and Angel are doing as they run from the authorities is about to start World War Three.
