One of My Fav

It is one of my favorite books that I read. I read it over and over and I learn more each time.

Riveting and hard to put down

17-year-old Allison has been suffering from migraine headaches and discovers they are due to emerging telepathic powers - powers an unknown agency will kill for. As she encounters death and destruction at every turn, all roads eventually lead to an underground agency - and revelations about her birth which will change all their lives. Riveting and hard to put down, packed with unexpected twists and turns.

fast-paced science fiction adventure

I liked this one. It's a fast-paced science fiction adventure with interesting characters, reminiscent in some ways of Stephen King. If this is the kind of reading you like, you'll find this one very enjoyable.

Page Turner, Starring Loveable Teen

I couldn't put this down. Krane (his other names are Swiniarski and Swann) is really developing as a writer. He's young, and maybe that's what gives his prose that energy, and maybe it's why he understands his heroine so clearly. You have to love her; she's not some cold super-talent, but instead a real girl whose vulnerability makes you really care.I loved it, and I want to read more by this guy!

wonderful!

I had my doubts when I started reading Teek...I mean it's about a 17 yr old girl still in high school, what do I have in common with it? But the story unfolds to tell the story of an extrodinary girl who has incredable power of the mind 'TK'. One of the better books out in print.
