As Dylan executes a plan to infiltrate enemy grounds, he'll have to face his only weakness-and a family secret that will threaten his very existence. Both Faith and Dylan have the second pulse. But there are five second pulses in the world who have an even greater power: They are virtually indestructible. Like all who have "the pulse," Faith Daniels and Dylan Gilmore have telekinetic powers-they can move objects with their minds. In the year 2051, some people have a second pulse. Tremor will excite fans of I Am Number Four and The Maze Runner with its richly developed characters and electrifying story of love and revenge. Tremor, the second book in bestselling author Patrick Carman's Pulse trilogy, is filled with more action-packed scenes and romance. If Faith wants to join forces with Dylan and save the world, she’ll have to harness the power of both.Īn action-filled triumph about the power of the mind – and the power of love.
But even with her unusual talent, the mind – and the heart – can be difficult to control.
In riveting action scenes, Faith demonstrates her ability to use her pulse against a group of telekinesis masters who are so powerful they can flatten their enemies by uprooting streetlights, throwing cars, and changing the course of a hurtling hammer. This telekinesis ability is called a “pulse,” and Dylan has the talent, too. With the help of her mysterious classmate Dylan Gilmore, Faith Daniels discovers she can move objects with her mind. Agent: Peter Rubie, FinePrint Literary Management. A large but well-developed cast and some grim turns of events keep the story moving and lay groundwork for the next book in this planned trilogy. Carman’s world-building doesn’t stand up to scrutiny (too many social structures appear designed to enable plot points), but the character-driven action should keep readers invested. After Liz’s family emigrates, Faith gets caught up in what could be the beginning of a war. Faith also discovers her “pulse,” a rare power that gives her telekinesis. When Faith Daniels’s school is consolidated into another one, she and her friend and fellow junior Liz meet attractive and dangerous twins Clara and Wade. If they decide to emigrate, they are given free transportation to one of the States and cut off from the network. In the near-future wasteland between the giant Eastern and Western States, the remaining teenagers attend sparsely populated schools, ordering goods and taking classes piped in from the States on their networked Tablets. Carman (the Dark Eden series) mixes high school drama with mutations and conspiracies in this impressive take on the postapocalyptic novel.
