The Terminals by Royce Buckingham 278 pages
When 19 year-old Cam Cody is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he
expects to spend the rest of his shortened life in an adjustable bed.
Then one night, a mysterious man offers Cam one chance to join a covert
unit of young "terminals." They are like him, only they spend the last
year of their lives executing exciting and dangerous missions to make
the world a better place.
With nothing to lose, Cam is in.
A
helicopter flies Cam to a secret tropical location, where he's tossed
out with a parachute and an instruction manual. After a rough landing,
he meets his nine teammates. The other terminals don't seem sick; Zara
is beautiful, Donnie is an amazing athlete, and Calliope sings like a
bird. He soon learns that they're enhanced with an experimental super
steroid TS-8, which suppresses their illnesses' symptoms and heightens
their physical and mental abilities. It's also fatal if taken for more
than a year.
Cam joins this extreme spy team, and they begin
pulling dangerous operations in multiple countries. As his teammates
fall around him, he starts to receive cryptic messages from a haggard
survivor of last year's class hiding in the forest. She reveals that the
program isn't what it claims to be...
