Tunnel Vision
Susan Adrian
Fiction Ad84t
Jake Lukin just turned 18. He's decent at tennis and
Halo, and
waiting to hear on his app to Stanford. But he's also being followed by
a creep with a gun, and there's a DARPA agent waiting in his bedroom.
His secret is blown.
When Jake holds a personal object, like a pet
rock or a ring, he has the ability to "tunnel" into the owner. He can
sense where they are, like a human GPS, and can see, hear, and feel what
they do. It's an ability the government would do anything to possess: a
perfect surveillance unit who could locate fugitives, spies, or
terrorists with a single touch.
Jake promised his dad he'd never
tell anyone about his ability. But his dad died two years ago, and Jake
slipped. If he doesn't agree to help the government, his mother and
sister may be in danger. Suddenly he's juggling high school, tennis
tryouts, flirting with Rachel Watkins, and work as a government asset,
complete with 24-hour bodyguards.
Forced to lie to his friends and
family, and then to choose whether to give up everything for their
safety, Jake hopes the good he's doing--finding kidnap victims and
hostages, and tracking down terrorists--is worth it. But he starts to
suspect the good guys may not be so good after all. With Rachel's help,
Jake has to try to escape both good guys and bad guys and find a way to
live his own life instead of tunneling through others.
