Treena and Vance think they’ve escaped the numbers game forever. They’re wrong. After Treena’s disastrous attempt to unite the nation, she has the deaths of hundreds haunting her dreams. Now, with hatred and accusations following her past the border, she’s determined to leave that horrible day behind and find a peaceful, uneventful life with Vance and the settlers. But when she starts seeing mysterious figures hiding in the abandoned cities at night and uncovers a strange desert population, she realizes there’s a danger much greater than NORA to worry about—and she just abandoned her people to their fate. Vance is a prisoner. Being rejected by the girl he loves and put on trial for betraying his clan are bad enough, but now he’s been framed for a crime he never committed. Their less-than-perfect refuge has become the political game of a madman, and Vance is the only one who can stop it—if he can keep from being executed first. Treena and Vance are still very much in the game, and this time it will take everything they have to save those they love.

Excerpt: No Technology is Invincible
“Gabe, I don’t have much time. The Darkness towers have arrived and are closing the black hole as I’m recording this message. I’ve included a recording of the conversation that Admiral Connor had with Levi and that will clarify what’s going on. We’ve been ordered away from the black hole. You are in my prayers and I’m so sorry.”
Gabe listened to the message and looked at Gabby, “Put Admiral Connor’s conversation on the main monitor.” He leaned back and listened to what was said and after it ended he leaned back in his chair and started tapping his foot.
Gabby looked at him, “We’re trapped here.”
Ali shrugged, “I must say that you military types lead a very exciting life.”
Gabby looked at him, “You’re trapped here as well!”
Ali shrugged and Gabe looked at them, “Admiral Connor had no choice but to back off.”
Gabby was clearly upset, “WHY?!”
Gabe pointed at the plaque over the main monitor, “Death Prophecy number one says that no enemy should be confronted until it is absolutely unavoidable. He had to consider the risk to millions of our warships against the loss of a single ship…ours.”
“YOU COULD AT LEAST PRETEND YOU’RE ANGRY!”
“I’m furious more than you can guess, Gabby, but I would have done the same thing if I were in his place. However, we are going to complete our mission.”
“Why?”
“Because that’s our purpose in being here. We’re just not going to have the support of our fleets to protect us. Poul, we no longer have a time restriction on doing this. The black hole is closed so let’s think about our situation. Are you sure you thought of every possible place where one of your ancient warships might be located?”
