Because that would be ridiculous. <p><p> It wasn't the "sex talk" he expected. Phillip Sallinger's dad has told him he's a custodian - a guardian - and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. He'll learn to move objects with his mind. He's excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a "special ed" class for disabled empowered kids; he suddenly feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip struggles, even as he and his friends - calling themselves the Ables - find ways to maximize their powers to overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the growing evil threatening humanity. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is mired in indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip, and the enemy is poised to strike. But what if the next "one who does all," the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables? <p><p> The Ables is a fast-paced, captivating debut novel from Jeremy Scott, a bold, new voice in fantasy and science fiction.

Als verrückter Verschwörungstheoretiker abgestempelt, tut sich Martin Monroe, Dozent für Astrophysik, schwer, die Bevölkerung von der bevorstehenden Katastrophe zu überzeugen. Sein einziger Freund, Simon Wilson, der immer noch mit dem Verlust seiner Frau ringt, ist gleichzeitig auch der Einzige, der ihm Glauben schenkt. Lisa Keenan, Kommunikationsbeauftragte der Regierung, muss gegen Bürokratie und mangelndes Selbstbewusstsein ankämpfen, um die Öffentlichkeit zu warnen. Entgegen der Meinung ihrer Kollegen zieht sie den Dozenten aus Belfast, Martin Monroe, hinzu. Gefängnisaufseher und Familienvater Derek Henderson steht vor einer unmöglichen Entscheidung: Familie oder Dienstpflicht. Die Welt ist von der Technologie und der Elektrizität, die sie antreibt, komplett anhängig. Wird diese Abhängigkeit zu einem gesellschaftlichen Zerfall im globalen Maßstab führen? »Einige Romane sorgen einfach für Unterhaltung, andere hingegen gehen einen Schritt weiter. ›Abhängig‹ zeigt auf, wie wenig es braucht, bis die meisten Gesellschaften einen Tipping-Point erreichen.« – STEVE ROGAN (Autor von ›Tracks‹ und der Rain-Saga-Trilogie)
