Summary

It's the universe's lucky day: Diana Hansen has finally graduated high school, ready to fulfill her destiny as the youngest, most powerful, and least worryguts of the Keepers who prevent metaphysical disaster. Which means she can take the lead on tackling the little problem she discovers in Kingston, Ontario. Someone has reopened the hole to Hell that Diana and her big sister Claire closed not long ago. And this time, Hell is the local shopping mall.
Four acres of air-conditioned chaos means Diana and Claire will need an extended stay in the Otherside to fight through the worst the possibilities have to offer, amid cursed minivans, demonic security guards, and unnecessarily hot elven mallrats. With the Keepers away, Claire's Bystander boyfriend and talking cat will face whatever crawls through the fabric of the universe alone. And when the sisters are separated, Diana's brash confidence and Claire's careful strategy will somehow have to carry the day together…

    In this science fiction thriller by an LA Times bestseller, an assassin with the power to temporarily paralyze others helps with a hostage rescue. Robert Luxley has a biological problem he does not understand and cannot control: one touch from his bare skin and you’re paralyzed for fifteen minutes.  Lonely and isolated, he’s turned his “special trick” into a lucrative career as a hired killer. He thinks he’s one of a kind—until one day he’s confronted by a young girl named Cassandra, who tells him he’s not alone.  She has it too, and the two of them are not the only ones. Carriers can render anyone they touch blind, deaf, or otherwise senseless, in seconds.  Fearing discovery, Luxley follows Cassandra through a dark underground network of “Deprivers” in a desperate hunt for her missing brother Nicholas, taken hostage by a radical group of carriers with a terrifying agenda.  Luxley doesn’t know who to trust, or who is safe to touch, but he needs to learn Cassandra’s secrets fast. Praise for Deprivers “A book that gets under your skin and on your nerves. The science is impressive; the fiction is haunting. It has a lot on its mind; and it will touch you.” —Mark Frost, co-creator of Twin Peaks “Deprivers is the ultimate paranoia thriller—emphasis on the word thriller. Fans of everything from The Hot Zone to The X-Files take note, THIS BOOK IS GOING TO BLOW YOU AWAY!” — Rockne S. O’Bannon, creator of Alien Nation, Farscape, Defiance and Cult“Deprivers will take you to a terrifying and disturbing tomorrow and make you feel like you live there.” —David Brin, scientist and science fiction author, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Campbell and Locus Awards
