Syncing Back: Act 2
Act 2
Sergeant Agent Amara James returns, desperate to conceal her misdeeds while continuing her quest to save her father. Amara’s department scrutinizes every move she makes, her friends see her unraveling, and Millennial raises the stakes with one deadly attack after another.
Then an unexpected ally joins forces with an artificial intelligence that is able to violate its own programming and operate with impunity. Loyal to her alone, their unlikely friendship threatens to finally bring down Millennial, and unbalance the world in the process.
Series
At nine years old, Amara watched as terrorists destroyed her family. Years later, she is recruited to the Department of Homeland Defense to hunt Neo-Luddite terrorists who have evaded capture for over a decade. Her finish line is the destruction of the murderous terrorist group and the recovery of an antidote for her father. To her ranking officers, Amara is on a fast track and deadly efficient in her job. To her team, Amara's obsessions and secrets release chaos into the lives of everyone around her. But nobody truly understands Amara, and how each traumatic mission leaves her increasingly unhinged. Worse, nobody understands how far she is willing to go, and the deadly consequences her choices will rain down upon them all.
Syncing Back is a three-act novel set in a disturbing tomorrow-future, one that perches prominently upon our horizon. Cautionary yet redemptive, it’s a tale of how far one woman will go to set right the wrongs visited upon her family.
The complete stories of Syncing Back and Syncing Forward are diptychs. They can be read alone or together, in either order. Readers are bound to be surprised regardless of how you approach the books. One is somber and introspective. One is a tempestuous thriller. Both will have you guessing to the very end.

Syncing Back : Act 2 continues Amara's quest to find the cure for her father and the lengths that she will go to try to fulfill that mission. Act 2 reveals more about Amara and gives insight to some of the reasons why she is the way she is.
There is a lot of action and the story continues at a good pace. I enjoyed it and look forward to Act 3.
