Book Description

It Isn't Paranoia If It's Real.
Hildegard Pine has a complicated medical history. Chronic fatigue. Partial Paralysis. Face blindness. Paranoia.
When a cadre of mysterious black ops gunmen hi-jack the local police and storm her hospital ward, Hildegard knows she's their target.

Connecting the dots left by her missing social worker, Hildegard runs away from home and into the snowbound wilds of Alaska. It's there, behind the curtains of ice and barbed wire that she enrolls in Truman Academy, a school in name only.

Forced to fight against her fellow students for food, warmth and a place to sleep, Hildegard forges a loose alliance, and together, they plumb Truman's red-lit depths for answers.

Why did her parents abandon her? What is the source of her condition? Why is one of Truman's students her virtual double?

As one by one, her classmates and allies disappear, Hildegard has to make a choice between a desperate escape, or staying to uncover the school's darkest secret, and a weapon that could change the world forever.
