More About This Book

Overview

A powerful high-tech company. A postcard-pretty  company town. Families. Children. Sunshine.  Happiness. A high school football team that never-ever  loses. And something else. Something horrible ...  Now, there is a new family in town. A shy,  nature-loving teenager. A new hometown. A new set of  bullies. Maybe the team's sports clinic can help him.  Rebuild him. They won't hurt him again. They won't  dare.

The quiet, postcard-perfect town of Silverdale seems to be the ideal location for Ellen and Blake Tanner and their son Mark to settle down. Yet soon after moving to this model community, Ellen begins to suspect that it conceals horrific forces. In time Ellen and Blake will know evils that turn even the most loving child murderous.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The latest horror novel from consistently bestselling Saul ( Suffer the Children ; Hellfire ) is set in Silverdale, Colo., a company-town variation on Spielberg surburbia. There, conglomerate TarrenTech provides the high school teams with every advantage, including a high-tech sports clinic. Dr. Martin Ames beefs up the brawny, aggressive teenagers, and it's to him that newcomer Sharon Tanner goes for answers when her gentle son Mark turns into a belligerent jock overnight. This slick, high-concept thriller, which might have been titled Stepford High , won't surprise anyone, but it should please the author's fans as it continues Saul's focus on children as the vehicles and victims of unnatural forces. 100,000 first printing; $100,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild selection. (Apr.)
Library Journal
Another in the horror sub-genre of dreadful experiments performed on an unwitting small town. The idyllic Silverdale, Colorado is the site of Tarrentech Industries' research facility. Tarrentech has rebuilt the fading Silverdale, providing jobs and more, and now virtually owns the town and its inhabitants. But Tarrentech is conducting growth-hormone experiments on the high school football team, under the guise of a vitamin and exercise regimen. The boys begin to display amazing strength, and an almost murderous aggression both on the field and off. Tarrentech covers up by directing the boys to kill anyone who questions their behavior--even their own families. Entertaining for readers who want horror/suspense fiction of any kind, or where Saul's best selling novels ( The God Project , Suffer the Children ) are in demand. Literary Guild selection.-- A.M.B. Amantia, Population Crisis Committee Lib., Washington, D.C.

    He walks in the trees. He saw a house and went to it. There was a band in there. He walked in. One guy looked at him. "Hey, you know how to play guitar?" Jev nodded. The guy pointed to the electric guitar. "Can you sing?" Agn Jev nodded. "Alright. Here. Play this." He handed him sheet music. Jev looked at it and grinned. He started to play. And than sing. "Ah,come on!" He continued playing and the drums played with him. "It's freaking me out, that i didn't see. You're so dam hot girl, it's crazy. And without a doubt, i still can't belive. That you were right there in front of me. Never saw the chemestry that was there with you and me. It's been a long time coming. Woah...ah...oh! Just waiting on an angel to take me out of my hell. I'm falling for you. Woah...ah...oh! Just coming out of thin air, you came out of nowhere. Right out of the blue. When heaven sent you." As he sang, he had a spacific girl in mind.
