Synopsis
A dark sci fi thriller by Lyn Alden, international bestselling author of Broken Money. In the late 21st century, society is more fractured than ever. Billions satisfy their every whim in virtual worlds, leaving those in power free to tighten their grip on the real one. When a terrorist with strange abilities launches a campaign of violence, military investigator Asim Rahal must stop her before she strikes again. But each step of his pursuit reveals a threat far greater than anyone imagined. Truth has always come with a price. Every hero asks themselves what’s worth dying for. The harder question is: what’s worth killing for?
