Metamorphosis — Peter King

The security of the safehouse is failing. As Sam tells Sue how Renwick house was transformed into a secret base, and he and his six companions into secret agents equipped with the most advanced alien technology he knows his enemies are closing. Worse, Sue is drifting, questioning Sam's grip on reality. But when they come, as they must, what can Sam do to keep the Changels mission alive? After a narrow escape Sam explains to Sue exactly who is hunting them and why. For the Changels are not the only force at work trying to influence humanity's future. The secret alien infiltrator society, the Bruderschaft, use war and genocide for their purpose. But to find out how they tracked the Changels down Sam must confront them. Part one brings alive the possibilities of advanced genetic and nano technology as the Phae engineers Hekator and Hekati fashion tools for the six young psychics. Part two tells of the Changel's education in the dark side of our world uncovering horrors of war and exploitation. From the battlefields of the Congo, to trafficking gangs in eastern Europe the teenagers learn about the corruption which hides in plain sight.
