Air Born (Generation Icarus #1)

The first book in the high action, award-winning Generation Icarus series!

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? For me, it was flying. I should have been more careful what I wished for…

Seventeen-year-old Tyler is smart, good-looking, and destined to be a fighter pilot. He's mapped out his life and knows exactly where he's headed.

​

Until, high in the Californian sky, he suddenly undergoes a terrifying transformation. The video instantly goes viral. Now, everyone wants a piece of him, including the sinister Evolutionary Corporation and the Angelist religious cult.

With nowhere to hide, scared and confused, Tyler goes on the run. All he has are his wits and the clothes on his back. Oh, and two enormous birdlike wings…

But he’s not alone. Around the world, others like him see the footage of his accident. Driven by instinct, they band together, trying to understand their new bodies and their new reality. How has this happened? Why them? Why now?

With corporate mercenaries, bounty hunters, wannabe influencers, and religious fanatics breathing down their necks, they have only one way to survive.

Fly.
