Product Description: Top-Secret Los Alamos, New Mexico. In 1945 its scientists unlocked the secrets of the atomic bomb. Now the quiet scientific community spawned by the Manhattan Project comes face to face with a technological breakthrough for which the world is completely unprepared. As a special team of operatives struggles to stop the project codenamed Rho while containment is still possible, what it means to be human is about to change -- forever. Author’s Note: Many people have asked me why I chose to thrust three high school students into such increasingly violent content. The answer lies in what we do to our kids every day: try to give them nice comfortable lives, then ship them off to some violent hell-hole halfway around the world, hoping they come through it alive and mentally recognizable. War changes everyone. In the Rho Agenda, a war is coming, and as three young people are about to discover, the road to becoming a warrior carries a very heavy toll.
