This is Stephen King at his best, telling a story about kids. These were taken from their families, their families killed. The Institute categorizes the kids as TK's (telekinesis) or TP (Telepathic). The Institute tries to and does emphasize and enhance their powers. Some die or missing along the way. Luke decides to escape and gets help from a worker to do so. He wants to alert the world to what is happening and get his friends rescued.
King outdoes himself on this one, making you really care about these kids and believe something like this could really happen. Let's hope it never does.

I found this on Kindle Unlimited and got the audible version for $1.99. This is about a young high school boy who lives in a town where a girl has been found dead. They think she committed suicide. Or did she? This young man, Daniel, is a star athlete in school and one day during a football game he sees a girl on the field, distracting him and causing him to be injured. Is she real? Why does she appear to him?
I think you will enjoy this story as I did. It moves along at a good pace, the voice of the boy is definitely one of a young man you is just experiencing some things for the first time, and trying to figure out his feelings, dreams and visions.

This is well written, flows along, the dialogue is believable, the characters make you love them. Lots of adventure, action, warmth and even the hint This is well written, flows along, the dialogue is believable, the characters make you love them. Lots of adventure, action, warmth and even the hint of a romance that will blooms in the next book I hope. The world the author David Estes has created is believable, a future world that lives underground out of necessity and they live in levels, literally and in class. I love the humor of the characters and their loyalty and devotion to each other. This is exciting, kept me reading instead of watching TV. Now THAT is a good book! Can't wait to start the Sun Dwellers. Going right now....more
