But for Owen--honor student, star quarterback, and computer-hacking genius--it sounds like a trap. He's right. Owen discovers that instead of auditioning for the CIA, they've all been tricked by a multibillion-dollar tech company into creating the ultimate computer virus. It's called Phantom Wheel, and it's capable of hacking anyone on Earth, anywhere, at any time. And thanks to six teenagers, it's virtually unstoppable. Horrified by what they've done, the hackers must team up to stop the virus before the world descends into chaos. But working together is easier said than done, especially as the lines start to blur between teammate, friend, and more than friend. Because how do you learn to trust someone when you've spent your entire life exploiting that same trust in others?

Fifty years later, Philomena decided to find him. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Philomena’s son was trying to find her. Renamed Michael Hess, he had become a leading lawyer in the first Bush administration, and he struggled to hide secrets that would jeopardize his career in the Republican Party and endanger his quest to find his mother.

Piano Days: A Novel
by Don ReidI love books, especially very well-written books, by real authors who have a wonderful story to tell--and have a gift that they employ in making that story come alive in your heart and mind as you read it. Mark Twain comes to mind. And because of him and his gifts, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn live in our minds and memories as if we knew them personally, as part of our lives--as indeed they are. Such a book is Piano Days, and such a writer is Don Reid. He lived this life, and all the stories and people are real. Life and our culture have changed materially since the years this story was lived, and most of the changes we call “progress” aren't good for our souls. We really miss the era--the sweeter and more livable years Don desires. But in four or five hours immersed in Piano Days you can make those days and memories part of your life too. I strongly recommend it! --PAT BOONE Don Reid, lead singer for The Statler Brothers, is a three-time Grammy Award winner with twenty-one gold and platinum albums. He is a member of the Country Music and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. As a songwriter, Reid holds twenty-one BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) awards. Also a television series writer, this is his eleventh book published since his retirement from the music industry. Reid lives in his hometown of Staunton, Virginia, with his wife Debbie.
