The Minus Faction #6
Shockwave
An enigmatic mastermind recruits four people with extraordinary abilities and offers them everything they want in exchange for the impossible. But after one of them uncovers a plot to hack the human race, they're not sure which side they're on -- just that not all of them will survive.
"The Minus Faction" is a super-powered speculative thriller in seven novella-length episodes. In Episode Six . . .
Lost in the aftermath of betrayal, the members of the team wander alone through the ruins of their lives, searching in vain for hope. In their absence, a new enemy rises to eclipse all others.
Isolated and absent the Prophet’s prescient protection, John and company fall one-by-one to their new foe as the countdown ticks to its end.

The team is separated, and the characters need to figure out what their priorities are.
This episode is packed with explosive action, and psychological torment. Basically, my favourite kind of story. We're learning a lot more about the ever-present countdown and those behind it. And this is one of the things that I really like about the story, is the villains have a purpose. A noble purpose, even. They're certainly not going about it in the best of ways (if there is a best way), but you can almost sympathize with them.
And this is really the only time that a cliffhanger ending is okay. I might not have agreed with myself back when the series was incomplete. I might have torn my hair out. But the series is done now, so I don't need to wait. I'm going to jump right into the final episode with both feet and get carried along for the ride.
You should come on the ride, too. This series is too good to miss!

Episode 6 should have been the final instalment, but grew too big, so got split into two. That's why it ends kind of in the middle of a major action scene, with an epic cliffhanger.
I don't really know what to write that I haven't written about the previous episodes, except that by this instalment, Wayne clearly has his writing style, his characterisation, and all plot elements locked down. Any and all minor irregularities that I might have complained about for previous episodes are gone. What's left is some of the slickest action with thoroughly believable characters.
My hat off to that.
Now on to Episode 7, when it comes out!

The wait was worth it
A fitting next piece to the puzzle that is the Minus Faction- great work! I'm standing in line for the final episode
