XGeneration is a seven-book young adult science fiction series that ran from 2013 to 2016. Set during the Cold War, the series follows a group of teenagers who discover they have been given superhuman abilities through a secret government program. You Don’t Know Me (2013) introduces the central characters, and the stakes escalate through The Watchers (2014), Silent Generation (2014), and four more entries up to Dead Hand (2016).
The 1980s setting gives the series a retro feel, with Cold War paranoia driving the conspiracy plot behind the kids’ abilities. The series blends superhero origin stories with spy thriller elements, aimed at a younger audience than Magnarella’s Prof Croft books.
