moment- quite literally. Conceived in a test tube by Federation
scientists and raised outside the reach of human touch, he has been
genetically engineered and conditioned to be the perfect virtual
warrior. He has quick reflexes, physical superiority, and high
intelligence, but Corgan has never met a real- live human being. Enter
the beautiful Sharla, Corgan's teammate for the battle. She's bold,
she's rebellious, and she's about to show Corgan all that the Federation
has been keeping from him.

Hidden by P.C. Cast
House of Night Series Book # 10
At last, Zoey has what she wanted:
the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council
is no longer on her side -- but she's far from done wreaking havoc in
the vampyre world. First, a mysterious fire ravages the stables. Then,
Neferet makes a devastating move that will test them all.
With the
seeds of distrust sown and Darkness breeding chaos at the House of
Night, everyone must band together -- but that's proving to be more
difficult than ever before. The twins are barely speaking and the House
of Night's former enemy, Kalona, has now become their warrior, pushing
their trust to the limit. To top it off, Zoey is pretty darn sure she
might be losing her mind. She saw something when she looked at Aurox
through the Seer Stone that she can hardly explain to herself, let alone
her friends. Is it possible that Heath has come back in a different
form? Is that why Zoey's so intrigued by Aurox, when it's so obvious
that he's dangerous? And who would believe her if she told them? Zoey
knows that following her instinct about Aurox might be just what they
need to defeat evil . . . but if she's wrong, it could cause the
destruction of those closest to her.
With the tension at a breaking
point and friendships on the line, can the nerd herd come together to
stop the spread of Darkness before it's too late?
