      Nia è una talentuosa hacker, ma vive in solitudine con un padre enigmatico. La sua unica connessione con il mondo esterno sono i profili social, che non riescono a colmare il vuoto che sente. Cameron, invece, sogna di diventare famoso su YouTube. Durante le riprese vicino al misterioso Lago Erie, un temporale lo colpisce e, al risveglio, scopre di avere un nuovo e sorprendente talento cibercinetico: può controllare computer e dispositivi elettronici con la mente. Nonostante le loro differenze, Nia e Cameron si incontrano online e comprendono che è tempo di abbandonare la solitudine. Decidono di unire le loro straordinarie capacità per combattere un’oscura organizzazione che manovra il mondo dell’informazione. Tuttavia, il male ha molteplici volti e, mentre i loro poteri si sviluppano, imparano che non ci si può fidare nemmeno di chi sembra più vicino. Ambientato nell’universo Alliances, creato con Luke Lieberman e Ryan Silbert e scritto con Kat Rosenfield, il romanzo è un'avventura ricca di adrenalina e invenzioni sorprendenti, che riflettono la creatività di Stan Lee, celebre per il suo contributo all’universo Marvel.

    • On Christmas Eve, eighty-five-year-old Miriam Gardiner steps onto the frozen river behind her home, recalling a long-ago love affair.

      Nia, talentovaná, ale zoufale osamělá hackerka, žije v izolaci se svým přísným svobodným otcem. Nia je nesmírně populární na sociálních sítích, kde má více než milion přátel. Ale jsou to samí cizí lidé; milují její příspěvky, ale o ní samotné ve skutečnosti nic neví. Cameron, vlogger, který se snaží vydobýt si slávu na YouTube, se soustředí na zkoumání záhady jezera Erie. Při natáčení nejnovějšího videa ho během divoké bouře, která zdánlivě odporuje přírodním zákonům, zasáhne blesk. Když se Cameron probudí, objeví v sobě udivující kyberkinetický talent: schopnost manipulovat počítači a elektronikou pomocí mysli. Po náhodném setkání na internetu dva teenageři – jeden s neobyčejným vrozeným talentem, druhý nevědomky proměněný – spojí síly, aby napravili křivdy světa. Zatímco Nia a Cameron rozvíjejí své schopnosti a rozdávají spravedlnost, upoutají pozornost nebezpečných sil a tím ohrozí budoucnost celé planety. Román zasazený do univerza Stana Leeho, na kterém se podíleli Lee, Luke Lieberman a Ryan Silbert a který napsali spolu s autorkou Kat Rosenfield nominovanou na Edgar Award, přináší strhující, krkolomné dobrodružství plné ryzí bujné představivosti, která definovala celou kariéru Stana Leeho jako hlavního stvořitele velkolepého vesmíru Marvel. Jedná se o nové vydání s exkluzivním obsahem včetně bonusových kapitol a doslovu od spolutvůrců série Alliances Lukea Liebermana a Ryana Silberta.
