The U.S. military is rounding up teenagers to prevent a virus from giving them superhuman powers. Aubrey and Jack are among them; they're then recruited to fight the terrorists (also infected teens) targeting the country's infrastructure and landmarks. Despite a clumsy romance and some frustrating mysteries (like the terrorists' motivation), this is a unique, tense start to a series.
