Alex Kurtzman, best known for producing the blockbuster Star Trek films, as well as the series Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard, has picked up the rights to the talked about sci-fi novel The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind, based on the novel by Jackson Ford, a pseudonym for author Rob Boffard. Deadline reports that author Maria Lewis describes the story as “Alias meets X-Men in a grimy LA setting”.
Here’s the book’s synopsis:
The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t’ With Her Mind follows Teagan Frost, who is having a hard time keeping it together. She’s got telekinetic powers — a skill that the government is all too happy to make use of, sending her on secret break-in missions that no ordinary human could carry out. But all she really wants to do is kick back, have a beer, and pretend she’s normal for once.
But then a body turns up at the site of her last job — murdered in a way that only someone like Teagan could have pulled off. She’s got 24 hours to clear her name – and it’s not just her life at stake. If she can’t unravel the conspiracy in time, her hometown of Los Angeles will be in the crosshairs of an underground battle that’s on the brink of exploding.
Kurtzman will be executive-producing the series along with Heather Kadin. This is an intriguing story! You can read the book now, and if you like it, you can look out for its sequel, Random Sh*t Flying Through the Air, which is set to hit shelves this July.
