"No one suspects children." Since the Cold War children have been used by the U.S. and Russian governments to commit acts of war. Assassinations, coups, etc... Filled with nanotech to improve their skills these "orphans" do their duty as expendable pawns. But Susanna is different. Considered a defect but she is fought for by her "father" to continue to be an operative. Now there is a new threat to America, a series of unique bombings that only the "Orphans" can manage, while old foes may be raising their heads. This is a very rough draft of a story that's kinda...moved down the list of importance. But I love the characters and world, and wanted them to continue to breathe. So depending on this does here I may jump back in to finish the work at some point.

For the second time in thirty years, the entire world has fallen asleep... Thirty years after the Greymen caused the decimation of her people, high school drop out Rain Collins spends her days learning to pickpocket and hold her booze. Yet she longs for the freedom and adventure of the Dreamwalkers of the past. When the Greymen return and send her world into a second Big Sleep, Rain discovers her own innate powers and finds the epic adventure she has always sought. But she soon learns that the dangers of the dream world are far greater than she ever expected. Hunted by a particularly fearsome Greyman, Rain must put herself at constant risk to keep her friends and family safe from the nightmares. While she rages against the invaders, she searches for the nefarious truth behind their return. Driven by the true thirst for freedom, she will stop at nothing to drive the Greymen from her planet forever.
