The voice echoes through an underground complex beneath Havana, where workers load weapons into transport vehicles that will never appear on any manifest. A peregrine falcon answers.
The year is 2031. Seth Macklin has spent thirty years becoming someone else. The abused child, the six years of incarceration, the man who once threatened his twin brother's wife and infant daughter — all of it buried under a new life, funding humanitarian operations against a rogue military regime with money nobody can trace back to him.
Then his daughter-in-law's talk show devotes an episode to a bestselling novel about his death.
Public humiliation gives Seth a reason to reenter the lives of Angel and her husband Brad, half to teach them a lesson and half to find something like redemption. But the game he starts moves faster than he can control it, running through a sensory-enhanced virtual reality internet, a blighted Havana orphanage, and a militia that answers to no one.
By the time Seth understands what he has set loose, the only question left is whether he can get them out alive.
