With a little help from old and new friends, Astra has solved the mystery of Blackstone’s murder in the old time-line. But now she, and the rest of the Sentinels, have to keep history from repeating itself—or at least riffing on the same theme, this time for higher stakes, as the would-be killer brings together a group of supervillains to recreate an old foe faced by the original Sentinels: Villains Inc. The escalating violence generates public animosity, and an unscrupulous politician used the crisis to turn Chicagoans against their most powerful protectors, while Astra learns that there are limits to the protection granted by a secret identity.
Attacked, the Sentinels must scramble to learn the nature of their attackers. One thing is certain: the new Villains Inc. means business.
Marion G. Harmon picked up a Masters of History degree because he likes stories. He resides in Las Vegas, where he dabbles in various aspects of financial planning while trying to get the people in his head onto the page so they’ll stop pestering him.
Addendum: M.G.Harmon still lives in Las Vegas, but has ceased telling other people how to invest their money to become a "professional author," whatever that is. He has written nine books, all about Astra and Company. They still won't leave him alone.
