      What is in Owen Gray's head ...and who is trying to kill him for it? Twenty-nine-year-old Owen Gray always believed the miraculous device in his brain had been implanted for purely medical reasons, as a way of controlling the debilitating seizures he suffered in his youth. But when the Supreme Court rules that "amplified" humans like Owen are not protected by the same basic laws as pure humans, his world instantly fractures. As society begins to unravel and a new class war is ignited by fear, Owen's father, a doctor who originally implanted the "amp," confides something that will send him on a harrowing journey - his "amp" has hidden potential to do so much more than he imagined ...and he is now in grave danger. All roads lead to a dusty community in rural Oklahoma, where Owen must find the one man who can explain what is really in his head. There he also meets Lyle Crosby, a dangerous and unpredictable leader of the fast-growing "amp" movement, someone whose stunning physical abilities and ruthless ideas show Owen how to harness his own startling gifts - but threaten to draw him into a world from which there may be no moral return.

      Fifty years after the original crisis, a gripping sequel unfolds as a terrifying threat re-emerges. In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe, known as The Andromeda Strain, nearly wiped out humanity, leaving only an elderly man and an infant boy alive in Piedmont, Arizona. A dedicated team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the decades, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has been monitoring for any signs of the microbe's return. Just as the project faces shutdown, a Brazilian drone uncovers a bizarre anomaly in the jungle, revealing the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This prompts the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to investigate the potential apocalypse. As they race against time, the microbe begins to evolve. If the team fails to reach the quarantine zone and understand the anomaly, this new evolution of the Andromeda Strain could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.
