About this item
Romance and action come crashing together in Susan Adrians Tunnel Vision in which a teenage boy with incredible powers is brought to the attention of the government.. Jake Lukin just turned 18. Hes decent at tennis and Halo, and waiting to hear on his app to Stanford. But hes also being followed by a creep with a gun, and theres a DARPA agent waiting in his bedroom. His secret is blown.. When Jake holds a personal object, like a pet rock or a ring, he has the ability to "tunnel" into the owner. He can sense where they are, like a human GPS, and can see, hear, and feel what they do. Its an ability the government would do anything to possess: a perfect surveillance unit who could locate fugitives, spies, or terrorists with a single touch.. Jake promised his dad hed never tell anyone about his ability. But his dad died two years ago, and Jake slipped. If he doesnt agree to help the government, his mother and sister may be in danger. Suddenly hes juggling high school, tennis tryouts, flirting with Rachel Watkins, and work as a government asset, complete with 24-hour bodyguards.. Forced to lie to his friends and family, and then to choose whether to give up everything for their safety, Jake hopes the good hes doing -- finding kidnap victims and hostages, and tracking down terrorists -- is worth it. But he starts to suspect the good guys may not be so good after all. With Rachels help, Jake has to try to escape both good guys and bad guys and find a way to live his own life instead of tunneling through others.
