Blurb: “Timothy Paul seemed to be an ordinary child. Too ordinary, thought psychiatrist Dr. Peter Welles. There was something unsettling about how statistically "average" he was So Welles decided to befriend Timothy in order to discover the secret he is sure the boy is hiding...and now Welles knows he was right.

Timothy is entirely uncommon—the child of a couple who died of radiation exposure following a nuclear plant explosion. Born just before they died, Timothy is more than just an orphan —he is beyond genius...and he is also one of the loneliest people in the world.

United by this secret, Timothy and Welles embark on a search to find other dispossessed young prodigies who hide from a hostile world which cannot understand them...the Children of the Atom.”
