After three months of training under Chief Stone and her uncle, Aron has managed to isolate a memory of a rebel agent who compromised the nation during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Ria has become a fighting machine, and Sam has mastered his new job in cyber security. When one of their trainees is captured by an outside force, the group must come together to rescue her.

Will they arrive in time, or will they uncover a secret that could potentially bring the entire agency to its knees? The gravity of the situation is palpable as the story unfolds.

Only time will tell.

WTF just happened? This was a great book, but I can't give it a five because the end left me a little confused. I will still recommend this series, and I will be re-listening myself.

Good plot twist and you did not see the ending coming. The narrator voice did not change to indicate new characters or emotions.
