She has only one shot at ditching her past for good and living like the normal human she wishes she could be. Tori must use every ounce of her considerable hacking and engineering skills--and even then, she might need to sacrifice more than she could possibly imagine if she wants to be free.

Gr 9 Up-This sequel to Ultraviolet (Carolrhoda Lab, 2011) resumes the riveting tale of the lives of Alison and Tori, two former enemies whose sanity and survival depend on one another. The first book described Alison's journey into despair as she contemplated the possibility that she had murdered Tori. After a psychotic break caused by her severe synesthesia and time in a psychiatric unit, she emerged still unsure whether her memories of Tori's disappearance were factual. Here, the narrative switches to Tori. She has fled her hometown in order to evade authorities who are questioning her mysterious return after vanishing for three months and the unusual results from DNA samples provided to the authorities. With a determined detective and a genetic lab on their trail, Tori and her parents change their names and appearance and move to a new city in hopes of finding a normal life. No longer chic and popular, Tori keeps her head down and tries to remain invisible. She goes to school online, takes a job at a grocery store, and guardedly makes one new friend. Nothing could be more ordinary, until a part of her past, scientist Sebastian Faraday, reappears in her life. Tori's life and freedom and that of her friends are now in jeopardy. Can she use her intelligence, innate skills, and bravery to save them all or will she trade her life for theirs? The unique answer will leave readers shocked and amazed. A must for all libraries owning Ultraviolet and a reminder to others to buy them both.-Cindy Wall, Southington Library & Museum, CTα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
The intense, well written follow up to Anderson’s Ultraviolet (2011) once again turns things upside down by featuring 17-year-old Tori Beaugrand as the narrator, rather than the debut’s narrator, Allison. Tori and her family are on the run, with new names, hairstyles, and even eye colors thanks to colored contacts. Rebranding herself as Niki, after famed engineer Nikola Tesla, she settles down into a hopefully quiet life in southern Ontario, Canada. But complications arise when Sebastian Faraday resurfaces and reveals she is still being hunted by the bad guys. With new, tentatively trustworthy friend Milo by her side, Niki/Tori uses all her engineering brilliance to grasp at a last faint hope to save herself and her family. Her plan might help her finally and forever elude the clutches of the obsessed detective on her trail, as well as the malevolent genetics lab sniffing out the strange tangles of her highly unusual DNA—if it doesn’t kill her first. The smart female protagonist, a refreshing lack of overly hormonal romantic focus, and puzzling plot twists engage to the very end of this absorbing read. Grades 9-12. --Julie Trevelyan
About the Author

She is now the bestselling author of several young adult novels, including Ultraviolet (2011), the companion to Quicksilver.

Contains a character so disturbingly like me, how could I not like it?
By Bibliotropic .net
My interest rocketed through the roof when I learned that Quicksilver featured a well-done asexual protagonist, someone who wasn’t uncomfortable with sex or was reacting to trauma or repressed homosexuality or was avoiding sex for religious reasons, but who was genuinely just uninterested in sex. As someone who’s asexual, I can’t tell you how hard it is to find asexual characters at all, let alone ones whose sexuality is presented as a legitimate preference. And in YA fiction, this was poised to become a gem in my collection.
I wasn’t disappointed.
Quicksilver follows the story of Tori, a secondary but still major character from Ultraviolet, as her life turns upside down in a slightly less drastic way than before. Knowing that her physiology isn’t human, and knowing that the authorities have gotten their hands on her DNA and want answers to questions about her origins, Tori’s family uproots itself and moves, assuming new identities and new lives in another city. In addition to the complications of having to hide her old identity and adjust to a new one, her past is hot on her tail in the form of a stalking ex-cop tracking her down, Sebastian Faraday dropping clues and hints to a grander but secret plan, and all Tori wants is to be left alone to live her life as she wants.
Written from the first-person, insights into Tori’s mind and how she thinks really adds a lot to what we see of her in Ultraviolet. Even there she was revealed to not be as snobbish as she first appeared, but here we see that she was often coached by her parents on how to act and relate and manipulate people, while Tori herself would rather be tinkering with electronics in her bedroom. Tori is not your average YA female protagonist. Far from it. She’s not particularly social, has a serious talent for engineering, isn’t constantly snarky to people she dislikes… She’s almost the polar opposite of what most female protags are in YA fiction now, and she’s a shining example of how to write a good well-rounded character without catering to the archetype.
If Quicksilver has a flaw, it’s that not very much happens. There’s enough to keep the story going and the pages turning, but it’s not very action-oriented or even particularly tense, with the exception of a few scenes. It was a very character-driven novel, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it did feel slow and plodding at times.
I wouldn’t recommend reading this without having read Ultraviolet first, or else you’ll find yourself lost and confused for a good half of the novel. Unlike Ultraviolet, Quicksilver doesn’t work as a standalone. But as a sequel, and a supplement, it works very well to expand and to tie up loose ends. If you want a good character-driven and intelligent novel with more diversity than you see in most YA works, then seek out this series, and lose yourself in creativity and inspiration and worlds beyond the everyday mundane.

Quite Possibly Better Than its Predecessor
By Miss Bonnie
Ultraviolet was an incredibly original sci-fi novel that I enjoyed immensely last year. I was thrilled to find out that Quicksilver was coming out as a companion novel and was so pleased that it was quite possibly better than its predecessor.
Tori knows that its only a matter of time before her past catches up with her and everyone in her life is going to be put at risk because of what she is. Sebastian Faraday shows back up and confirms that she does have more to fear but that he has a plan to hopefully save them all from Mathis. But it's going to take strength and perseverance in order for this to pay off, and even then the likelihood of success is slim.
Quicksilver's story line was an intense thrill ride that never let up. The writing was amazing and all the tiny intricate mechanical details and outer space facts made each word come alive. My main issue with sci-fi tends to be that it's so completely unbelievable, but R.J. Anderson makes this science fiction word so completely real. As much as I loved Allison's story and her incredible gift in Ultraviolet, I loved the story being told from the point of view of Tori. Tori was nothing like the blond, blue eyed, popular girl she showed the world. She was a tough, machine-building chick that had the strength to do whatever it took to keep herself and the ones she loved safe from harm.
Quicksilver was extremely well done and I love how well wrapped-up each book manages to be. Ultraviolet's ending was an explosion of text with revelations that blew your mind, but I had no idea that I could expect more of the story. The ending of Quicksilver didn't have a cliffhanger, but definitely left the possibility for a future story. And boy do I hope that happens. Highly recommended for sci-fi lovers looking for highly original characters with an elaborate story line.

This is a fascinating, action-packed sci-fi novel that will captivate the YA audience ...
By Deb
Niki's parents were really protective of her and would do anything to ensure her safety, including dropping everything to help her. In the not so distant past Niki's name was Victoria "Tori" Beauregrand. Tori broke up with Brendan, the family packed up and left Sudbury and became the Johnson family. Tori was gone and Niki Johnson was born. Niki had done her disappearing act before for several months, but this time the family ran together. It seemed like Niki had been under everyone's radar all her life. She lied and told them Mathis had taken her. Maybe no one could find her now that the chip had been removed from her arm.
Niki had "unusual DNA" and Dr. Gervais would like nothing better than to get her to go to GeneSystem. The only place they were going was to Vancouver to hide out. The only person who really understood her was Alison Jeffries. Weird likes weird. Alison had synesthesia, but Niki had the "weird biology" that everyone wanted to take a look at. She had some extraordinary talents that seemed to go right along with it. A month later found Niki working behind a cash register hiding her her secrets, but her"synapses had sizzled like white lightning" as she "envisioned improving technology."
Not to get caught was the key. Niki almost exposed herself, but Milo Hwang would help her keep her secrets and perhaps her sanity. Sebastian Faraday showed up out of the blue, but it wasn't coincidental. His body "glowed and flickered" as he came through the relay. Faraday had beamed in, but unfortunately Milo saw him. It seemed like everyone was after Niki from Constable Deckard to the Genesystem. There was only one way out and that was to build a transceiver to close a wormhole to "make sure nothing comes though it again," least ways nothing that could hurt her. It looked like it might be a go when a quicksilver chip was intentionally imbedded in her arm. Would Niki be able to save herself or become just another experiment?
This is a fascinating, action-packed sci-fi novel that will captivate the YA audience. Tori, who soon finds herself having to become Nicola "Niki" Johnson, is a highly talented by frustrated young woman who has been experimented on all of her life. Niki's talents are quickly discovered during an emergency situation, one in which she desperately tries to hide her part in. The writing pulled me in as I tried to discover her "secrets" along with those who suddenly came into her life after her rush into hiding, into what she hope will be anonymity. Niki is in a race against time in this fabulously written sci-fi novel, which also reads like a mystery in parts. The twist at the end is startling, but a fitting end to the tale. This is a stand alone book, but was preceded by Ultraviolet.
