Always competing, they draw out the best – and worst – of each other. They start a shared research project to prove the existence of ExtraOrdinaries, with startling results. Their theory: under the right conditions, anyone could become an EO. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen years later, Victor has escaped from prison to get revenge on Eli for putting him there. Aided by his cell mate and hacker Mitch, and Sydney, a young EO with more power than she knows, they stalk their prey without rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Eli has spent the years hunting down and killing every EO he can find, convinced they are crimes against God. All except his sidekick, a woman with an indomitable will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by betrayal and loss, and wielding terrible power on both sides, Eli and Victor are on a collision course to revenge, with the deadliest of consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003ePRODUCT INFORMATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.veschwab.com\/\"\u003eV.E.
