In Plain Sight. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.In Plain Sight

Rose Britton has spent years hiding in plain sight. By day, she is a technical researcher at GenExt, a powerful genetics corporation with too many locked files, black-budget projects, and questions no one wants answered. By night, she is trying to understand why her empathic abilities are changing, why the headaches are getting worse, and why she feels increasingly certain someone is watching her. Then she literally runs into Jake Martino. Jake is a mutant, a hacker, and a member of Helix, the underground network GenExt calls a terrorist threat. To the people Helix rescues from raids, hides in safe-houses, and helps disappear, it is something else: a lifeline. Jake can phase through walls, stop bullets, and spot patterns other people miss. Unfortunately for Rose, he quickly notices that there is far more to her than she admits. Rose knows she should stay away from him. Contact with Helix could cost her the access she needs at GenExt, and perhaps much more. But Jake is kind, stubborn, and far harder to dismiss than he should be. As cautious friendship grows between them, Rose is drawn deeper into GenExt's hidden world. Instead of punishing her for meeting Jake, GenExt recruits her into the Genetic Registration Service, a secret operation that tracks, controls, and "neutralizes" people with mutations. Trapped inside the organization hunting people like Jake, Rose begins anonymously warning Helix about incoming raids. Every warning protects lives. Every lie tightens the trap. When a raid forces Rose to reveal what she is, the fragile life she built fractures. Helix discovers she has been working for the GRS. GenExt discovers she is more valuable than it ever suspected. And a shadowy corporation connected to Rose's past begins closing in. Rose may hold the key to a breakthrough that could save Helix's unstable mutants, or make her the most valuable research subject in the world. In Plain Sight is a character-driven science fiction thriller of corporate conspiracy, superpowered resistance, slow-build romantic tension, and found family. It is the first novel in the Helix Codex Chameleon Protocol series, where being seen can be as dangerous as being found.

Jenn's work often features characters navigating the gray space between who they are and who the world wants them to be-mutants, empaths, hackers, rebels, and reluctant heroes who find strength in the people around them and the choices they make.Outside of writing, Jenn is a maker, crafter, and self-declared chaos gardener who brews her own beer, travels whenever she can, and lives with a cast of feline familiars (and the occasional capybara in disguise).
