Somehow, Emma must find a way to infiltrate the compound, save Ryan, and get them both out of there . . . preferably alive.

This is "book" 3 of a 3 part story, in which each part is around 50 pages.
The story starts out quite interesting in book 1 (RISK), then heads downhill in book 2 (GONE) and further in this book 3. There are holes between the end of each part and the beginning of the next. The story becomes less believable with each installment. I am not motivated to read more by this author.
This was the best of the three novellas. It was good to spend time with Emma Caldridge again, but there wasn't enough of Sumner and Banner. Ms. Freveletti, another novel, please!
