What does it feel like to save the universe? As 13-year-old Radithorne Smith knows, it feels a lot like losing everything. After foiling the Mendacian plot to steal the Source, Raddy returns home to find his parents gone, their scientist colleague exiled, and his uncle sick. Even Betsy disappears from his life. And no matter what he does, his palms won't stop bleeding. Hunted like an animal by Tuurtt Benedict, Raddy falls into the clutches of the shadowy sisterhood, who mean to turn Raddy into a drone or kill him. As Raddy fights to stay one step ahead of fate, he uncovers a sinister conspiracy between the Mendax System and the sisterhood -- one that results in the most heinous atrocity against humankind in history. Once again, the Boundaries need Raddy to reach deep inside himself to discover startling abilities he never knew were there. And heal his hands forever in the process. But at least this time Raddy doesn't have to tunnel to Earth to get the job done. Or does he? "The Boy Who Went To Earth" is the second book in TR Dillon's exciting new science fiction series, "The Hall of Brains."
