He was stationed at Area 51, a loyal soldier serving his country, and later injected with what he believed to be a standard vaccination, only it was an experiment. Now he's a weapon, a man with skills like no other, who can travel with the wind, a man with darkness within that he battles every day of his life.
Then he meets Addie—the light to his darkness, the daughter of the man who created him. Addie is the only one who understands Creed, the only one who makes him feel more man than monster.
But there is war in the air between Creed, his fellow windwalkers, and Addie's father. Creed will not allow himself, or the others like him, to live as pawns and weapons.
Now Addie must choose a side.
Her father or the man she loves.

Glossary
Area 51—Another name used for Groom Lake.
GTECH—The Super Soldiers who were created under Project Zodius, and who divided into two groups—Zodius and Renegades. GTECHs are stronger, faster, and more agile than humans. They heal rapidly and have low mortality rates. They can windwalk. Over time, many are developing special gifts unique to them, such as telepathy, the ability to communicate with animals, and more.
GTECH Body Armor—A thin bodysuit that fits like a second skin. Extremely light and flexible. The material is made from alien technology recovered from a 1950s crash site. Until the Green Hornets were created, no standard-issue ammunition could penetrate the suits.
GTECH Serum—The serum created from alien DNA that was gathered at a crash site in the 1950s and then used to create the GTECHs. The original sample was destroyed. Since alien DNA will not allow itself to be duplicated, there can be no new serum created without new scientific discoveries. The remaining serum disappeared the day Area 51/Groom Lake was taken over by the GTECH rebels known as Zodius Soldiers. The GTECH serum cannot be created from GTECH DNA. This has been tried and failed.
X2 Gene—A gene that appears in some, but not all, of the GTECHs by the fifteenth month after injection of the GTECH serum.
Groom Lake—Also known as Area 51, this is the military base where the Project Zodius experiments with alien DNA took place, which was later taken over by the Zodius rebels.
Project Zodius—Code name for the government’s top-secret operation—two hundred Special Operations soldiers who were assigned to Groom Lake (Area 51) and injected with what they believed to be immunizations, but was, in fact, alien DNA.
Zodius City—Still known as the top-secret U.S. military facility often called Area 51 or Groom Lake, located in Nevada, it was taken over by the rebel GTECHs led by Julian Rain. This facility is both above and beneath ground level.
Zodius Soldier—A rebel GTECH soldier who follows Julian Rain, the leader of the rebel movement. Julian intends to take over the world.
Lifebond Mark—A double circle resembling a tattoo that appears on the back of the female’s neck after their first sexual encounter with a GTECH, but only on a female meant to be that GTECH’s lifebond. After the mark appears, the female feels a tingling sensation whenever the male lifebond first approaches.
Lifebond Process—A lifebond is a male and female who are bonded physically for life and death. If one dies, so does the other. This bond allows the GTECH male to reproduce, and it offers the females the same physical skills as their male lifebond. The lifebond mark, a double circle resembling a tattoo, appears on the back of the female’s neck if she’s the intended lifebond. It’s believed that a blood exchange is required to complete the physical transformation of the female to GTECH, if the couple makes that decision. There is physical pain and illness for the female during conversion. It’s believed that there is only one lifebond for a GTECH which can make it very hard for a GTECH to find that woman.
Blood Exchange—A part of the lifebond process done by choice after the lifebond mark appears on the female’s neck. This completes the female’s transformation to GTECH, and links the two lifebonds in life and death. (See Lifebond Process.)
Dreamland—Though Groom Lake/Area 51 is often called Dreamland, in this series, Dreamland is the fictional military facility opened eighty miles from Area 51 by General Lawrence to take a stand against the Zodius who overran Area 51. You hear the Dreamland term in books two and three.
Red Dart—A red crystal found at the same UFO 1950s crash site where the GTECH DNA was discovered. The crystal creates a red laser beam that enters the bloodstream and creates a permanent tracking beacon that is sensitive to sound waves. These sound waves can also be used for torture and control of the GTECHs. Thus far, U.S. military attempts to use Red Dart have been fatal.
Renegade Soldier—A GTECH who protects humanity and stands against the rebels known as “Zodius”. The Renegades are led by Julian Rain’s twin brother, Caleb Rain.
Shield—A mental barrier that a GTECH uses to block their psychic residue from being traceable by Trackers.
Green Hornet—A special bullet that is so powerful it not only shreds human muscle and bone, it also permeates the thin bodysuit armor that the GTECHs—both Zodius and Renegades—wear when no other bullet can do so.
Neonopolis—The Las Vegas satellite location for the Renegades, covertly located in the basement of the Neonopolis entertainment complex off Las Vegas Avenue.
PMI or “Private Military Intelligence”—A company run by General Powell, the officer who created Project Zodius. PMI is used as a cover for top-secret military projects that the government doesn’t want to officially show on the books.
Stardust—An alien substance that is undetectable in human testing and causes brain aneurysms.
Sunrise City—The main Renegade facility. An advanced, underground city located in Nevada’s Sunrise Mountain Range.
