Nineteen years after the events of The fall of Firebourne, Varan has transformed into the bustling metropolis "New Hayward" on the brink of collapse. A covert group of unlikely allies—tech-savvy hacker Zane Gardener, street-smart informant Quinn Shade, reclusive scientist Nathan Huges, and recent army graduate Jordan Knight—bands together to thwart the destructive plans of the Conclave, a secret army led by the disillusioned ex-military strategist Grayson Shaw.
Haunted by past failures to capture Shaw, the group navigates a treacherous landscape of deception and ambushes, struggling to trust one another while racing against time. As they uncover hidden bases and disrupt supply lines, personal sacrifices are made, and secrets are revealed. Amidst chaos and moral dilemmas, they must confront their demons to dismantle the Conclave’s ultimate weapon and save the city from impending doom.
Throughout their journey, the team faces numerous challenges, including internal conflicts, personal losses, and intense battles. They work through trust issues, particularly between Jordan and Zane, as they train and grow stronger together. The group also encounters betrayal and must navigate through various strategies and covert operations to stay ahead of their enemies.
As the story progresses, Jordan's powers continue to evolve, and the team makes significant sacrifices to protect their city and each other. Their mission culminates in a series of dramatic and intense confrontations with Shaw and his forces, leading to a pivotal and heroic act that changes the course of their fight.
In the aftermath, the city acknowledges the group's efforts and the sacrifices made. New initiatives are put in place to rebuild and support the community, inspired by the bravery and determination of Jordan and his friends. Zane, reflecting on the events and the legacy of his fallen friends, feels a renewed sense of purpose as he looks toward the future.
Young Adult fiction author of action/adventure novels for the young, and the young at heart -- and now branching out into adult themed works including two new psychological thriller series and a couple of moonshine books too.
Prior to my newest series, my standalone novel, Creeper Falls was published. It's another classic teen action/adventure that's even more heavy on suspense: http://www.amazon.com/Creeper-Falls-C...
Before Creeper, I released Complex Three, the third in a YA, SciFi, dystopian thriller series. It all started with Savage Hills, an edge-of-your-seat story about teens trapped behind enemy lines. Even if they could, they're not sure really want to make it back to so-called friendly territory. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Savage-Hills-Ho...
Prior to that series, my latest book was Murder Cove. While not a huge departure from my usual outdoorsy wilderness survival adventures, this one has a bit of an indoors Die Hard feel too--and a nice dose of humor. On Kindle and paperback. http://www.amazon.com/Murder-Cove-Chr...
One of my more recent releases, Game Changer, is a float trip gone wrong. It's perhaps a bit like Deliverance...for teens. http://www.amazon.com/Game-Changer-Ch...
Then there's the trilogy, which was finished in 2015. Hard to believe it's come to an end, starting with... Fugitives from Northwoods -- a dystopian, action/adventure novel: http://www.amazon.com/Fugitives-North...
