GIRL WITH THE SILVER HAIR by their military\u002Dofficer parents they are a post\u002Dnuclear\u002Dapocalypse evolution of mankind, crucial to the survival of a subterranean, locked\u002Ddown United States beset by savage enemies on Earth’s radiation\u002Dscarred surface. Eten is directed to use her deadly brainwaves on an accused “terrorist” leader, but she begins to doubt the tales being fed to her. It transpires that the kids are part of “Project Samson,” an initiative by the American military and government to grow DNA\u002Dmodified test\u002Dtube embryos into weaponized, ESP\u002Daugmented assassins. The Pentagon powers behind Project Samson have learned that maintaining control over these super\u002Dbeings grows difficult over time—especially when the subjects reach puberty—and uncooperative members of the group have been summarily killed. How long can Eten hide her wrathful discontent and rely on the dubious protection offered by a sympathetic guard, or her faux “mom” and “dad”? The premise of youngsters being cultivated by Black Ops agencies as mutant secret weapons is not an original one (there are similar tales by Dean R. Koontz, Stephen King, and John Farris), but Seupel’s take proceeds in an effective, straight\u002Dahead fashion as Eten, a stranger to concepts such as money or menstruation, becomes a fugitive in the “real world”—a very familiar one in the YA\u002Ddystopian genre in which an unjust society is threatened by rising sea levels and violently authoritarian adults. (Trying to ingratiate herself with the fascistic power structure, Eten proclaims, “More than anything in the world, I want to defend our country and make America great again.”) With such strong forward momentum, the material will not require psychic pushes to compel readers to barrel through in one sitting." - Review & Purchase Guide | BookBookOwl
