The fourth book in the ‘Achilles Trilogy’, IV picks up right where Odyssey leaves off. Achilles and his companions escaped from the Compound two years ago, and they are just starting to think that maybe the Compound really will leave them alone. Debra Dutton is pregnant, Allie is getting more powerful every day, and Achilles is plain out Alex London, Legal Aid Attorney. But their world is going to come crashing down. The Agents has been simultaneously planning to retrieve them—Talents they see as essential to returning the Compound to its former glory—and kill their nemesis, a former Subject who continues to disrupt their Atticus. Told in four interlinked novellas, IV combines new characters with old to take both the Achilles Trilogy and the Bethesda Wars to the next level.
