n the year 2050, a secret government study nicknamed Operation
Source Code injects eight volunteers with a retrovirus. The goal? To abate the
energy crisis by reprogramming human DNA to power personal electronic devices.
The experiment works but with disastrous consequences.
Seventeen years later, Lydia Troyer is far from concerned with the
energy crisis. Growing up in the isolated community of Hemlock Hollow, life
hasn't changed much since 1698 when her Amish ancestors came to America. She
milks her cow by hand, makes fresh bread every morning, and hopes to be courted
by Jeremiah, the boy who's been her best friend since she could walk.
But when Lydia's father has a stroke and is taken to the outside
world for medical treatment, Lydia and Jeremiah leave home to visit him. An
ordinary light switch thrusts Lydia into a new world where energy is a coveted
commodity and her own personal history makes her the most sought-after weapon
on the planet.
