Seventeen year old Michael Anderson and his deaf kid brother, Danny, find themselves in mortal danger after their parents are kidnapped by ruthless biophysicist, Samuel Herrington. Michael discovers Danny has a powerful gift—he knows what happens after a person dies—and now others want to know, too. The brothers must outwit and outrun Herrington, the FBI, and even fellow Americans in a harrowing cross-country chase, because whoever gets to Danny first will have the power to control the fate of every person on earth.

This is a compelling and suspenseful fantasy that grabs you at the beginning and doesn't let go until the end. The two brothers on the run from a creepy bad guy who has kidnapped their parents are so sympathetic you can't help but give your heart to them. The premise is original and thought-provoking, and will resonate with the reader long after the book is finished.

Good Points

Excellent, original plot with many twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat; the main character is a seventeen-year-old boy who is very likeable, and his young deaf brother has a special talent that will just blow you away. The protagonist makes your skin crawl, but he is not a "stock bad guy."
