Summary
To be selected as a leader, the athletes used the most advanced medicine: The Boost. Once Boosted, there was burnout. The only way to halt the effects was connection to the Link, the global information network that sustained the world. Only those who won at the Olympics received the Link. But Jillian Shomer dares the system and risks her life to defy the godlike power of Earth's masters.
