THE UNDERCURRENT

A stand-alone near future thriller by the author of the Rephaim series.

Eighteen-year-old Jules De Marchi is different: she has an electrical current beneath her skin that surges like a live wire. She can use it - to spark a fire, maybe even end a life - but she doesn't understand what it is. And she can barely control it, especially when she's anxious.

Ryan Walsh was on track for a stellar football career when his knee blew out. Now he's a soldier - part of an experimental privatised military unit that has identified Jules De Marchi as a threat. Is it because of the weird undercurrent she's tried so hard to hide? Or because of her mother Angie's history as an activist against bio-engineering and big business?

It's no coincidence that Ryan and Jules are in the same place at the same time - he's under orders to follow her, after all. But then an explosive attack on a city building by an unknown enemy throws them together in the most violent and unexpected way.
