After a surge of unexplained blackouts and electromagnetic pulses strikes several U.S. cities, the government dispatches a classified response unit led by eccentric cyber-weapons expert Dr. Ivo Robotnik. But the cause isn’t human—it’s something much faster. Sonic, a genetically-engineered lifeform from another dimension, is on the run. Armed with unimaginable speed and cocky bravado, Sonic hides in the shadows of Earth’s cities, trying to stay one step ahead of those who would exploit him. But after a high-speed encounter leaves a city in ruins, he becomes the target of global interest—and danger. Jack Gordon, a former Air Force pilot haunted by the death of his mother, is pulled back into his father’s shadow—Colonel Thomas Gordon, a hardened military strategist tasked with tracking down the "Blue Lightning." Jake teams up with Elena Ramirez, a government bioethicist with knowledge of interdimensional energy signatures and a reason to distrust Robotnik. As Sonic bonds with Max, a lonely kid caught in the crossfire, and his protective mother Lisa, he starts to understand the concept of family—and what it means to fight for something bigger than himself. But Robotnik has more than just drones and tech on his side. With the help of his cunning assistant Snively, he’s building a machine that could turn Sonic into a weapon—or destroy his world entirely.
