Publisher's summary

In a minute everything changes. Fifteen-year-old Jenna Flood's discovery of a bomb ticking down from sixty seconds is the first in a series of explosive revelations that destroy her understanding of the world and her place in it. Jenna believes she is an ordinary teenager, busy with schoolwork and helping her father run a Key West charter boat. But when a team of killers shows up, intent on erasing her from existence, she learns the unbelievable truth: she is not who she thinks she is. Alone and on the run, betrayed at every turn, Jenna's path takes her from sun-drenched Key West to the alligator-infested Everglades, the streets of Miami, and the Caribbean islands. Along the way brutal criminals, deadly assassins, and the forces of nature conspire to end her life unless she can rise to embrace an impossible destiny and unleash her own lethal potential. Everything Jenna has been told about herself is a lie, and the truth is a secret that may destroy the world--or save it.

Jeremy Robinson and Sean Ellis, the best-selling team behind The Brainstorm Trilogy, Prime, and Savage, have thrilled audiences with stories of science gone wrong and monsters on the rampage. Now they break new ground with a taut suspense thriller sure to appeal to fans of 24 and The Bourne Identity, with all the pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching action you've come to expect.

Robinson has done it again.

This is going to be a great series. Unlike King though Jenna's potential is truly an unknown. Xe Sands was the perfect voice and it wouldn't be the same in any other voice.

Flood is bloody brilliant!

Non stop action, and twists and turns that are unexpected. Kept me on the edge of my seat! Can't wait for continuation of series.

Fantastic!

Did you say aliens clones and time travel?
This book has me guessing the whole time. I'm not sure what new information we will learn next! But I can't wait for the next one!

Robinson & Ellis have done it again!

Jeremy Robinson and Sean Ellis team up again, this time for an all out action fest. 15 year old Jenna Flood is having a bad day, did that sound like a tag line for 24? Good! Because the comparison is a valid and well deserved one. Someone wants Jenna dead, but why? What harm could a teenager be to the world? We join Jenna on her journey to find out why she is being hunted and what exactly everyone is so afraid of. As always, Robinson and Ellis put our 'hero' through unspeakable events. The audiobook is anything but predictable. It will keep you guessing and sitting on the edge of your seat. Once you start I think you'll be hard pressed to put it down until the end, then you'll feel the overwhelming urge to rush to the authors and ask just one question - when is the next audiobook available.

I was on the fence originally about Xe Sands as the narrator, just because I had never listened to anything by her before and I'm always a little unsure of female narrators performing male characters. The fence doesn't exist anymore..like Jenna Flood, who Sands performed brilliantly, I leaped over that fence and didn't look back. The performance and production were excellent and really entertaining, making for a engrossing listen.

Action packed!

Well what a rush!!! This is one non stop, action packed and intense read.

We are thrown into the action right from the start with Jenna finding a bomb on their boat counting down from 60 seconds. From that second on, her life is irrevocably changed, whether for the good or bad still remains to be seen!! What follows is a story of survival, of surviving the odds, of friends and foe and finding out who you truly are!

I love finding books like this! It reaffirms why I adore reading. This book sucked me in and didn't let go for one second. I had to keep listening long into the night, just to see what happened next. The plot was incredibly fast paced, yet there is a lot to explore and digest from it. It isn't just an action packed read,there is so much going on for poor Jenna, that it takes a while to wrap your head around! Just when you think you have it figured out, the authors throw in another twist.

This is my first book that I've read that has been co- written by both, I've read a book written by each separately, but it won't be my last!!! Great characterisation, great plot, and with even better writing, this is a must read!!

This is my first book that I've listened to that's been narrated by Xe Sands, and I truly enjoyed her narration. She made Jenna pop and really brought the tenseness of the plot alive. She understood when to ramp up the tension and when to tone it down!

*I received a copy of this for review. This in no way affected my thoughts.*

Non-stop thrill ride!

Grabbed me from first chapter! Narrator is fantastic! Very engaging and brings listener into the story!

No, but I will certainly consider any book she is the narrator on.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reactions - just plain enjoyment

Great Action Thriller

While there are no giant monsters in this Jeremy Robinson books, it’s still one of my favorites of his. Lots of action and an interesting story. I would definitely read/listen to a sequal.

Brilliant and original premise.

I thought the premise and the incorporation of the "Wow" signal was amazingly original. Yes, it is like a season of 24 in book form but it did get a little weird toward the end as the story morphed into a season of Heroes. Maybe I missed the foreshadowing, but I didn't see that coming. I also found it unbelievable that the federal agents pursuing Jenna would shoot police officers and civilians that simply got in their way.

I liked how the environment in which Jenna grew up played a major role in who she was despite her DNA. I also thought the narration was excellent.

I'll probably wait to see what the reviews of the next book in the series show before I buy it. I liked the book and don't regret buying it but I'm not sure the series is what I was expecting.

Great Story, Can’t Wait For the Next One

I liked so much about this novel. The plot, the characters, the premise. The next installment needs to be written and published so we can get to know Jenna Flood better!
