An extraordinary event is predicted on a dark world called Earth, a planet still ignorant of the thriving galaxy around it. An organism of nearly unlimited power called a quiznot will arise on its surface. Some take notice and prepare, for if you control the quiznot, you control the galaxy.
Which means nothing to troubled teen Timothy Starr—his life is in free fall. After a chance encounter, he's developed psychokinetic abilities driven by increasingly violent emotions. When his outbursts nearly kill two classmates, he's banished to the Smithson School, a remote prep school where the teachers don't seem interested in helping him and the few students he meets with unusual powers like his are reclusive and scared, and for good reason...someone is killing them off.
But when his life becomes intertwined with Alizia Hanson, one of the strangely beautiful 'in' kids, he suddenly finds himself at the center of an intergalactic quest and a forbidden attraction. He must discover secrets about himself in order to protect his new friends and Earth's future.
"Blends elements of The Last Starfighter and X-Men and a little bit of the sadly canceled TV show Tower Prep...a hero's quest mixed with teen-outsider melodrama. Its new characters and new story will remind you of classic stuff." - Joe Crowe, revolutionsf.com
