He\u2019s been tracking a suspicious crop blight and, despite being shunned by higher-ups, is desperate to share his unsettling discoveries with Margaret. But when he tries to approach her, Markus is brutally attacked, his eight-year-old daughter Jessie in tow, leading Margaret\u2014and her bodyguard, Jade Carvello\u2014to realize that someone intends to keep Markus\u2019s revelation quiet. Jade\u2014an agent of private security firm The Rucker\u2019s Agency\u2014takes it upon herself to find answers. That path leads her to infiltrate the Anarchists, one of many groups \u201cseeking social change\u201d after the recent civil war, in hopes of discovering the truth.The stakes are high in this sci-fi thrill ride, as secrets and conspiracies are uncovered and lives are put at risk. While on mission, Jade teams up with one of the Anarchists\u2019 members, Carlos Babineaux, and sparks fly between the two\u2014causing a conflict of interest for the star-crossed lovers. Harvey (author of The Clemhorn Trilogy) weaves together a layered story of intrigue, romance, and political agenda from there, featuring two strong female leads who are intelligent, powerful protagonists\u2014and willing to put everything on the line to protect their loved ones.Readers will be entertained by Harvey\u2019s blend of suspense, sci-fi, and dystopia, supplemented by worldbuilding that constructs a believable government and new social order. He is careful to include snippets of history to keep readers abreast of the Cross-Temporal Empire\u2019s formation, and developments like the romance between Jade and Carlos elevate the tension, pitting morality against corruption, love against duty, and sacrifice against survival. Plot twists build a convincing case for a conspiracy with deeper roots than anyone expects, and Harvey leaves readers with both revelations and a dangerous new mission that promises more action in the series\u2019 future.<strong>Comparable Titles:<\/strong>\u00a0A.G.
