"I'll tell you when you're an adult." These are the few words that have been repeated to Damon Ophia for his whole life. Damon's life is made up of secrets. In some cases, secrets are being kept from him, in others he needs to keep secrets, and in one instance he is the secret being kept from the rest of society. Alone and orphaned, Damon embarks on a life-changing mission that promises the answers that he's sought after his entire life. Friendships are formed, enemies are created and values are questioned as everything he's ever known is taken from him again and again. Getting out of this mess alive is one thing. Getting out of it mentally and emotionally intact is something completely different. (Rated PG 13 for some strong language, violence, and a bit of gore) Dedicated to Gwen Thanks so much for getting this book to #75 in sci-fi!

Absence of information is their true enemy, and the police are only fraction of their worries.
