Brandon Logan: Warchild, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Ten years have passed since the events of Warchild: Ignition.

Nu-Metal has escaped into the world.

Once the foundation of an experiment that changed Tank, Scuzi, and the others forever, the technology has found its way onto the black market. Unstable versions are being bought, sold, and injected into anyone desperate-or reckless-enough to use them. Saint's Crossing is now crawling with enhanced criminals, each new mutation creating another threat the police were never equipped to handle.

For Tank, Scuzi, Wolf, and Knubbs, stopping them has become part of life.

But the arrival of a mysterious young woman named Fatima changes everything. She possesses extraordinary abilities and a connection to Scuzi that should be impossible, raising new questions about just how far the experiments of the past really went.

Then there is Alesha.

After years trapped inside a failing body, an experimental treatment gives her another chance at life-and something more. Alesha can feel the emotions of those around her, and soon discovers she can influence them as well.

Yet even in a city filled with enhanced criminals, something far more dangerous is emerging.

A mysterious figure is moving through Saint's Crossing with abilities unlike anything the team has encountered. He can reach into minds. Turn allies against one another. Move objects without touching them. And somehow, he always seems to know an attack is coming before it happens.

Tank can overpower almost anything.

Scuzi can outrun almost anyone.

But how do you fight someone who can turn the people you love into weapons?

As unstable Nu-Metal spreads and Saint's Crossing becomes increasingly dangerous, the family at the center of Warchildwill face an enemy capable of attacking the one thing strength cannot protect:

their bond with each other.

And this time, winning won't mean everyone makes it home.

Warchild: Requiem is the second novel in the Warchild series, continuing the story begun in Warchild: Ignition.
