Oliver Invictus. Annals of Altair, #3

Dead at Fifteen Oliver Dunn's life is officially over. Pulled from his bed in the black of night, he's headed for the Prometheus Institute's mysterious shadow campus, where anomalies like him vanish forever. But no sooner does he leave Prom-F than the school descends into chaos. The student body revolts, classmates make a break for freedom, and one silent, powerful projector among them corrals the adults into a hive-minded collective of slaves.
Yanked back from his impending doom, Oliver's mere presence restores order. The Prometheus heads demand that he ferret out the rogue projector, but he'd rather die than cooperate. His life is already over. They can't threaten him with any fate worse than his own. But they can threaten the one person in the world he actually cares about: his former handler, Emily Brent.
