The year is 2051, and the world is still recognizable. With the help of her mysterious classmate Dylan Gilmore, Faith Daniels discovers that she can move objects with her mind. This telekinetic ability is called a “pulse,” and Dylan has the talent, too.

In riveting action scenes, Faith demonstrates her ability to use her pulse against a group of telekinesis masters so powerful they will flatten their enemies by uprooting street lights, moving boulders, and changing the course of a hurtling hammer so that it becomes a deadly weapon. But even with great talent, the mind—and the heart—can be difficult to control. If Faith wants to join forces with Dylan and save the world, she’ll have to harness the power of both.

But with every heroic act, the power grows into the specter of a curse. How to decide who lives and who dies?

Because the Grim Reaper doesn't disappear...He catches up.

Both Faith and Dylan have the second pulse. But the other side has second pulses, too, and they’ve been training for a war that has been brewing their entire lives. As Dylan executes a plan to infiltrate enemy grounds, he’ll have to face his only weakness, and a family secret that will threaten his very existence.

Together, Faith and Dylan are the only hope this world has left, but they must go their separate ways in order to accomplish their plan. Will their love survive?

Or so they thought. Because there are still some secrets that Ryan and Sarah haven't uncovered yet. And there's still a shadowy figure standing in their path...someone who doesn't want Ryan and Sarah digging up any more of the past.

At the start of Quake, Faith and Dylan are holed up in a spectacular abandoned mountain lodge (once used in the film The Shining 71 years before), and their Intel friend Hawk leaves them in the middle of the night, in spite of a newly blossoming love with a girl named Jade. Hawk’s plan is to penetrate the Western State and make contact with a sleeper cell working on the inside that will give them valuable information about Hotspur’s violent plan.

But while Hawk is searching for answers on the inside, Faith and Dylan are still fighting on the outside. In a series of hair-raising battles, the second pulses duel it out, only to raise the body count on both sides. During the battles, Faith and Dylan discover an even great strength: the power of their combined love. Together, Faith and Dylan might just be able to save the world with a quake that is big enough to change the course of history.

Meet Edgar, a mischievous boy who likes to climb (which in a land of fig trees is a pretty good thing). Enter Isabella, who spies on Edgar as he climbs where he is not allowed (ie sister-like pest who turns out not to be so bad). One night Edgar finds a book, a glimpse of a memory from his past, hidden in the cliffs. But alas, poor Edgar cannot read. Nor can anyone that he knows, but he does know where people CAN read... in the Highlands of Atherton. Beyond where he is allowed to climb but he goes regardless meeting a young boy, Samuel. Samuel uncovers the truth to the earthquakes plaguing Atherton but before he reveals it to Edgar, Samuel is stolen away by some bad men. Ah yes, a story of secrets, adventure, soldiers, villians, action-packed war, and heroic deeds in an ever-fast changing world... you can't go wrong by reading "Atherton: House of Power." Atherton holds the same spirit of adventure that the "Chronicles of Narnia" and complexity of the "Ender" series. All ages will enjoy this story.
