Produktbeschreibung
A teenaged boy gifted with incredible power and a dangerous secret searches for his lost brother in a war-torn world. Genetically engineered to be the perfect weapon, Alex must choose between power and family in the face of world peril in this YA sci fi dystopian thriller. It is the near future in a world that, only two decades earlier, had been ravaged by war. A semblance of fragile peace has been reached with the formation of a new worldwide government: the World Unity and Peace Federation. Alex, a teenager searching for his missing brother, becomes a pawn in an outlaw rebellion against the Federation and a politician's struggle for power. Revealing his long-hidden identity-and extraordinary abilities-could be the solution to making amends for his past, or the detriment of the world.
Autorenporträt
Author Tom Stein was recognized as having a keen talent for writing early on in his life. He's been inventing stories since he was a child and, later in high school, won several prestigious Scholastic Gold Key Awards, which recognizes outstanding creative writing by a teen, and also a poetry award. He continued to hone his writing skills through college, journalism school, and law school, taking his time writing twenty-three drafts until perfecting his new sci-fi dystopian young adult novel, Titan.Tom believes a good story is one that has characters that are relatable and that the reader can truly empathize with. Whether it's heroes or villains, all great characters have aspects that humanize them. Most notably in his genre of sci-fi and fantasy, Tom feels that fiction gives the reader a world to escape to and the thrill of experiencing the impossible and the extraordinary. He hopes his young readers come away from his stories learning not to have other people's expectations rule them and to use their talents in the way that makes them most happy. With Titan, Tom hopes to convey that a family isn't based on blood; it's made up of the people who unconditionally love you just as you are. When he's not writing thrilling books for young adults, Tom enjoys playing guitar, taking photos, going on adventures (cycling, skiing, road trips), and exploring new places around the city with his fiancé. They live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with their German shepherd, Thor.
