The Hostage

Thriller

The second book in the series about teenagers with psychic abilities. 

The four teenagers – Nico, Ed, Ketty and Dylan – are now fully fledged as The Medusa Project, undertaking secret missions for the government organisation that manages them. But they’re about to become involved in something much closer to home; Ketty – who can see into the future – discovers that her brother Lex has stumbled into a dangerous game involving his boss and a hidden bomb. It's up to Ketty to save Lex without letting on what she knows to the rest of the team. But can she control her psychic visions, and her feelings for Nico, without getting the team's cover - and herself - blown sky high?
