In the second dystopian installment (Pulse), telekinetic-powered Dylan infiltrates the enemies' camp after learning a shocking secret about his parentage. Acting as backup, fellow pulse Faith, still enraged over her best friend's death, has to decide whether revenge is worth risking the entire rebellion. Uneven plotting and continuity issues don't slow down the action enough to prevent readers from racing to the end.
