When Lt. Col. Nathan Pike and Squad Q raid an illegal cloning lab on a remote Pacific island, seven telepathic children escape into the wild. Free for the first time, their abilities rapidly evolve—but so is a fatal flaw. Each clone carries a DNA-wired bioweapon engineered to detonate under severe stress.

When a telepathic backfire fractures a young girl’s psyche and activates the bomb inside her head, the hunt becomes a race against total destruction. To defuse the threat, Pike’s elite unit must capture all seven children and dive deep into a volatile mindscape of a young child’s repressed fears and traumas.

If they fail, Pike’s standing orders are absolute: Terminate on sight.
