"A terrific page-turner, full of unexpected twists and revelations. Buckle up!"--James Patterson

The second book in the acclaimed, action-packed series from New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman. Stranger Things fans, don't miss this trilogy!

The clones of Project Osiris are free--but they're being hunted. After their narrow escape from their "perfect" hometown, Eli, Tori, Amber, and Malik are finally in the real world and determined to expose the leaders of Serenity.

They decide to track down Tamara Dunleavy, the mysterious billionaire and founder of Project Osiris. Evading capture by breaking laws and sneaking into houses, hotels, buses, and cars--are they becoming the criminals they were destined to be?

What they discover will change everything, leading them straight into the Plastic Works and the heart of the experiment, in order to uncover the deadly criminals they're cloned from--and any evidence that will convince the outside world to believe the truth.

But the outside world isn't exactly what they expected--strangers aren't just unfriendly, they're dangerous. And the wrong move could send them right back into the arms of Dr. Hammerstrom--and trapped in Serenity for good.

On a breakneck journey from Jackson Hole to a maximum security prison--Eli, Tori, Amber, and Malik will stop at nothing to take Project Osiris down.

But to get the evidence they need, will they have to become masterminds themselves?
