The Argenis Solution

by William L. Lavell

They've escaped The Company's sights, but not its reach. Now Ryan and his crew are on their toughest mission yet! As the fourth chapter of the Vindicators series begins, life in the aftermath of the crew's escape from Treos is more complicated than before. After their desperate and brilliant deception at Treos, President Aarla and the newly-commissioned Admiral Straker are convinced that Jace Ryan and his friends are dead. This has bought them some much-needed breathing room. But no one's breathing any easier. Ryan's crew is fractured, and his sister Jade is lying in the infirmary, teetering on the brink of death from Samathine poisoning. Dr. Pryce's old associate Professor Cord is their only hope of saving her life. He worked with him on the Samathine Project, and he's created the only known antitoxin. But the price for the cure will be high. Aarla wants Cord for the secret that he possesses, and sends Straker to retrieve it. If Ryan and his friends go to Argenis they risk Straker finding out that they're still alive. And it also seems that the antitoxin for Samathine isn't the only secret that Cord is keeping. The hunt for the Samathine cure is on. Ryan and his crew are in a race against the clock, and Admiral Straker. They are about to go off on a quest that will bring up more ghosts from the past, and put them in more danger than ever. All to possess... THE ARGENIS SOLUTION

About the author

I was born and raised in Northern New Jersey.
“By day", I work as a supervisor at a transportation company that I’ve been with for the last 20 years.
In my free time, I write. With a lot of rewriting, a story that I wrote back in 1991 under a different title became my first novel, The Augustine Agenda, which I finally got published 2010. It was a quarter-finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest, and also earned Honorable Mentions at the 2011 New England Book Festival and the 2011 London Book Festival.
In 2011, I followed it up with Escape From Argus, which was another adaptation of an older story. The Treos Dilemma, is my latest work, is all new material. It was published in February 2012.
My latest project is a fourth untitled chapter in the Vindicators series, which I’m hoping to have finished by the end of the year.
Right now I’m living in Central New Jersey with my wife Michele and my Mom. They’re my biggest admirers and my toughest critics.
