Chen Hung closes in. The nine systems hang perilously close to a second fatal Blackout. Billions of lives are at stake.
Does Captain Caleb Shepperd have what it takes to save the nine systems, or just himself?
One survived; against the odds, the brutality, and the betrayal, she survived, but inside, in the part of her that’s real, she’s broken. It will take all that she is, all that she was, and all that she could be, to save the nine systems from the synthetics. She will not fail.

The Story
Can Dare convince Colonel Jones to train him to fly to space and find a way into her heart? Or will long kept secrets unhinge the entire clone project? She refused to listen to the public refer to the clones as slugs. Daniel had died bringing them to life and she couldn’t have his work, his creations, insulted in front of her. Sure, they weren’t born the same way as her, but they were still people, and she had a new squadron of clones waiting for her on the tarmac.
