U-K N O W (Volume 1)

Reese Madison, a brilliant and talented sixteen-year old girl, is tormented by the bitterness of a tragic past and a threatened future. She was told her parents died from health problems when she was only four, but she later discovers that they were murdered. With a government under martial law due to a world-wide food shortage, her future is bleak and dismal. Turning to her talent as a gifted pianist for escape from a depressing world, Reese soon befriends a new student in school, Jett Adams, who seems to be everything she is looking for in a guy, which includes his captivating piano playing and deep thinking. She falls in love with him. They share the same thoughts and talents and her future begins to brighten except for one thing: this new friend is not human, but a robotoid. As Reese reveals her troubled background to Jett, he eventually tells her about his underground society, the war between the U-KNOWs and the ELITEs, and the historic events that led to this unnoticed robotic war on the earth's surface. Most importantly, he informs her she has been selected to be a Desumor, or chosen one. Knowing this, Reese must now choose whether to help the U-KNOWs fight a war against the adverse robotoids (known as the ELITEs) who have infiltrated human society without any apparent detection, or walk away and not get involved. Her decision rests upon two factors; what human or robotoid can be trusted, and can she save her brother and his family? Unraveling-often poignantly-the terrible secret of the murder of Reese's parents, a budding romance and a dystopian world woven together bring into play a staggering discovery of the evil scheme the ELITEs plan in order to control mankind. Through Reese's eyes and Jett's mind-reading capabilities, this thrilling story unveils the truth that culminates in a breathtaking climax and the fight for the survival of human society. In the end, Reese discovers the war is not over.
