The ultimate seat of power. The final showdown. Alexander Engel is tightening the noose around the resistance. No longer concerned by the optics of his actions, he’s pressing his forces to finish the rebellion once and for all. But he’s not the only one taking his gloves off. As Max Schlager and Helen Chen go on a daring mission to even out the odds, Jason Hunt and his loyal crew prepare for the final showdown. With their backs against the wall, they must take a stand against the cabal and win the war. Or die trying.
DEUS EX MACHINA is the explosive final chapter in the internationally best-selling The Upgrade series.
Born on a military base in the Far East, Wesley had a rather unusual childhood. While other kids ran around parks and traded toys, the oldest son of an active Air Force officer and a kindergarten teacher spent his early days walking on wings of parked jet fighters and climbing into pilot chairs of strategic bombers. He first started writing while in grade school, once hijacking a physics lesson to read out loud his science fiction novella to the entire class. He continued to write in college, mostly short pieces until finally, he felt he had some full-length stories that needed to be read by other people.
His wide variety of interests includes photography, which once led to a publication in the Popular Photography magazine, martial arts, music, and, of course, reading and writing.
Wesley moved to New York City in the tumultuous 90s. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and son.
Action packed, thoughtful, full of heart and bravery. Dictator Alex Engel, the imposter president of the US is still in power and Jason Hunt with his ragtag (although talented) revolutionary followers continue to fight in the civil war for democracy and to return President Darius to the White House. Undergoing risky missions Jason and his team continue to undermine Engel's forces although things at times appear hopeless. Jason's honesty, compassion and tenacity are key to increasing followers, many of whom would give their lives for freedom. I loved the physical action and daring as well as all the computer hacking and science which was fascinating. I received this ARC and this is my honest review.
