Publisher's Summary
The judge told Carl that one day he'd have to decide exactly what kind
of person he would become. But on Phoenix Island, the choice will be
made for him.
A champion boxer with a sharp hook and a short temper, 16-year-old Carl
Freeman has been shuffled from foster home to foster home. He can't
seem to stay out of trouble - using his fists to defend weaker classmates
from bullies. His latest incident sends his opponent to the emergency
room, and now the court is sending Carl to the worst place on earth:
Phoenix Island.
Classified as a "terminal facility", it's the end of the line for delinquents
who have no home, no family, and no future. Located somewhere far off
the coast of the United States - and immune to its laws - the island
is a grueling Spartan-style boot camp run by sadistic drill sergeants
who show no mercy to their young, orphan trainees. Sentenced to stay
until his 18th birthday, Carl plans to play by the rules, so he makes
friends with his wisecracking bunkmate, Ross, and a mysterious gray-eyed
girl named Octavia. But he makes enemies, too, and after a few rough
scrapes, he earns himself the nickname "Hollywood" as well as a string
of punishments, including a brutal night in the "sweatbox". But that's
nothing compared to what awaits him in the "Chop Shop" - a secret government
lab where Carl is given something he never dreamed of.
A new life....
A new body. A new brain.
Gifts from the fatherly Old Man, who wants to transform Carl into something
he's not sure he wants to become.
For this is no ordinary government project. Phoenix Island is ground
zero for the future of combat intelligence.
And for Carl, it's just the beginning.
