Sixteen-year-old Tom Newell discovers that after a head injury he can bend metal with his mind, sense lies, and hear heartbeats. From the beginning, Tom’s abilities don’t just change him — they change his relationships and they threaten his future with Gail, the girl he loves. Every act of heroism leaves evidence behind, evidence that complicates his life and draws attention he doesn't want.

 

As Tom and Gail escape their broken families, marry, and build a life together, quiet local rescues escalate to hijackings, covert foreign missions, and Cold War counterintelligence. Federal agencies try to deploy him, use him, and manipulate him. Foreign governments close in on the mysterious asset called Warlock, and the life Tom is trying to protect is put at risk. Gail gives him one rule: Come home at any cost. But what will it cost?

 

 

Book 2: No Limits

 

 

Tom and Gail are back, and they have a daughter, Susan. Warlock is idled.  
Tom and Gail are building a life without government oversight. Tom still helps where he can. But his physics-bending abilities still leave evidence. 
Tom is learning that truth has consequences. He can detect it. But he can’t control how it’s used. 
The government doesn’t acknowledge Warlock. But it hasn’t forgotten.
The Soviets haven’t forgotten either. 
Both sides pull Tom into Cold-War crises that can’t be acknowledged but can’t be ignored. Nuclear threats. Rogue sleeper agents. And people who consider Tom’s knowledge far too dangerous.
Gail still has her rule – come home at any cost.
This time, No Limits.
