Thriller
The third book in the series about teenagers with psychic abilities.
Since their existence became known to members of the criminal underworld, the Medusa teens have been hidden away in a secluded training camp in Spain, where their identities are being kept secret. Life in the camp is hard enough – more like a detention centre than a training camp – but then things take a turn for the worse. Ed is blackmailed into using his mind-reading powers - and in doing so he threatens to endanger the whole Medusa Project. Will the group be able to stage an escape and reveal the sinister underworld they have discovered?
“This is an exciting and action-filled story, with baddies galore… The story is fast-paced, and there are plenty of twists… What is really fascinating about these four young people is that they help each other to understand their abilities and use them better: they seem like real human beings… Readers looking for a thrilling roller-coaster story will thoroughly enjoy this, and will look forward impatiently to the next one, where the more enigmatic Dylan takes centre stage. 4½ stars.”
“I find The Medusa Project to be one of those series that is getting better with each new book… I'm still amazed by the almost consistent standard of McKenzie's books.”
"Sophie's thrillers are brilliant, you never know what's on the next page and you can't stop reading until you find out."
"The pace of writing is fast, fast, fast… the premise had me hooked immediately"
"This is hi-octane stuff... will leave everyone gasping for the next episode."
Sophie was born and brought up in London, where she still lives with her teenage son.
