Super-genius Conrad and his supernaturally gifted friends train together to avert natural disasters, but in Xanthia, a place where gifted people live hidden away, they learn the disasters are being engineered by a gifted person to make himself immortal. This sequel to The Girl Who Could Fly lags due to a weak structure, but Piper and Conrad's fans will enjoy the dramatic action.

Midwesterner Piper McCloud, who can fly, is whisked off to a top-secret institute whose purpose is to make the children normal at all costs. Piper's indomitable personality makes credible her efforts to rally an elite resistance force, and readers will take strength from Piper's fight to be herself. Forester's down-home-farm and futuristic-ice-bunker-institute settings are unified by a rock-solid point of view.
