is the first book in a relatively new series by Lisa Renee Jones. General Powell authorized the unwilling inoculation of 200 special forces members with alien DNA. His unwilling test subjects, referred to as GTECH all developed the power to "windwalk" - dissolve into the wind and let it carry them where ever they wanted to go. Some of them also developed other powers. Now, a little over a year later, his daughter, Cassandra, has arrived at Groom Lake (Area 51) to try and find out why some of them are more aggressive than others. The difference seems to boil down to Gene X.At Groom Lake she meets Michael, one of the affected warriors. But their romance is short lived when he joins forces with Adam and rebels against the General Powell and the US government and Adam plots to take over the world using the alien enhancements of the Zodius warriors.
The Storm That Is Sterling (A Zodius Novel)
is the second book in the series. We meet Sterling in the first book as a secondary character and as one of the GTECH warriors fighting for the Renegades led by Adam's twin, Caleb. The Zodius have developed a drug, ICE, and the Renegades need to find out where it comes from and how to either prevent people from becoming addicted to it or cure the addiction, or both. Sterling is sent to meet Rebecca, a NASA scientist and the last of a short list of scientists that might be able to figure out ICE (and a romance that never was from college) upon her return from Germany. But they are attacked and taken prisoner by the Zodius warriors.I am enjoying this series very much and am looking forward to the release of the third book The Danger That Is Damion
in May. Hot button warning: though there are not any on or off screen rapes, there is definitely a question of dubious consent or the equivalent of drugged rape since Adam's lifebond influences the women captured by the Zodius to the point where they will accept any of the Zodius warriors as sexual partners.
