The Intuitives

Beschreibung

IMAGINATION JUST BECAME OUR GREATEST WEAPON. In Egypt, an archaeological team discovers the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Seven years later, every public school student in America takes a strange new test, but only six are chosen to attend a summer program at the mysterious Institute for the Cultivation of Intuitive Cognition, where nothing is as it appears to be, including the students themselves. Roman Jackson, 11-the lonely artist. Sees things. Around people. Things he can never, ever tell. Samantha Prescott, 16-the sarcastic nerd. Isolated by a premonition even she doesn't understand. Daniel Walker, 17-the shy musician. Hides his private thoughts in the soundtrack of his mind. Kaitlyn Wright, 15-the bubbly engineer. Can fix anything, except the one thing that matters most. Mackenzie Gray, 17-the disciplined athlete. Armors her deepest fears against a world she can't control. Ashton Hunt, 17-the frustrated gamer. Hoping to turn pro, and a constant disappointment to his father. But why is the U.S. government so interested in six outcasts? And what, exactly, is it teaching them to do? Now, they must band together to uncover the true purpose behind the institute-and the ancient secrets that lie hidden beneath its surface... Before history catches up to them.

Autor

As a child, Steven read anything he could get his hands on, sharing his favorite stories with his younger brothers and then acting them out, especially if this required sword fighting on horseback. When they ran out of books, he wrote his own, including his brothers as the main characters by sketching illustrations on magazine clippings. Meanwhile, Erin fell in love with llamas and with the books of Anne McCaffrey, whose Dragonriders of Pern series inspired her to become a writer. When she finally met Anne McCaffrey at a fantasy convention some two decades later, she wept uncontrollably throughout the entire affair. She does significantly better with llamas. Together, they are Dragon Authors, writing science fiction and fantasy for teens and adults. Their short fiction has been published in the Hugo-nominated Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. The first volume of their newest series, Tales of the Wendy, was named by Goodreads as one of the hottest new YA series of 2018. Fans of Tales of the Wendy describe their writing as "fresh, descriptive,""witty and clever," reminiscent of the "writing style of The Princess Bride," with twists that are "crazy and perfect."
