With the destruction of everything he loves the birth of terrifying and irresistable impulses, as two hidden selves arise out of the darkest corners of his personality, each one as volative as dynamite...and twice as deadly. Behavioral scientist Marcus Sonnenberg knows what has happened to Jared Baker. Under the guise of aid, he intends to bend Jared to his will, to use the newborn "gifts" of a confused, frightened man for Sonnenberg's own ends. But there are other powerful covert forces determined to get their hands on this devastating human "weapon." And now Jared Baker must run for his life from organized criminals, government assassins...and from what he himself has become.
