Review Summaries
"Dr. Lincoln Procter inject Dylan O'Connor and his autistic brother, Shep, against their will with a mysterious syrum. Also injected is stand-up comedian, Jillian Jackson. The three discover that they have been injected with "nanobots", micro-computers, that give them strange abilities, including precognition and teleportation. Together, they are driven to use their powers to help save people in need. While trying to evade Proctor's colleagues and enemies, the trio embarks on an incredible 24-hour adventure."
Bonnie Kaminowski, Resident Dean R. Koontz Scholar
