The Smart Kid by Bob Miller

The Never-Ending Pursuit of Michael Shale.

Michael Shale discovered he's not like everyone else. And, eventually, so did the powerful and arrogant Senator Perkins, head of a secret military committee, who will stop at nothing to find Michael, who has a unique biology that could be used for military purposes.

Michael hides as a student because he can. But the counselor is prodding into his history and the truth will be revealed.

The truth about his genetics, his family, his true identity, his time as a military lab rat.

He'd rather die than be captured again.

But can Michael, the counselor, and a secret person from his past really fight back against a corrupt politician working for a shadowy ancient organization?

A novel with a unique structure

• First half is a mystery. Second half is a thriller • Not a YA story • Set in the 1960s & 70s

˃˃˃ It's a genre-crossing novel

The Smart Kid is a Mystery-SciFi-Thriller

Part political thriller. Part mystery. A touch of science fiction.
