Introduction: Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation). Wren鈥檚 favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she鈥檚 ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he鈥檚 always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there鈥檚 something about him she can鈥檛 ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line鈥攐r she鈥檒l have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she鈥檒l be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum. The perfect soldier is done taking orders....
