Thrill Runners: 10 Near-Future, Fast-Paced, Short Stories: Covert Teens on Artifact Rescue Missions, from LegendFiction Authors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798268301663)

Thrill Runners is a high-speed collection of missions where teen crews risk everything to stop ancient tech from falling into the wrong hands.

In the year 2125, strange relics are waking up across the world. A dream-altering Aztec altar in the Guiana Basin. A memory-warping artifact hidden in the Irish coast. A glowing arrowhead pulsing with energy deep in the Adirondack mountains.

Each relic is dangerous. Each one can tip the balance of power. Warlords, mercenaries, and mafia networks will do anything to claim them.

That's why Thrill Runners exist, teen covert crews who move like shadows through cities, casinos, underworld tunnels, and skyscrapers. They race across Morocco, Venice, Singapore, Genoa, and more, dodging cybernetic assassins, corporate traps, and betrayals from within their own teams. One wrong move, and it's over-not just for them, but for the world.

Every mission is a fight against the clock, 10 near-future short stories by LegendFiction authors.
