A hacker on the run.

The most powerful AI ever built.

And a nuke aimed at a city.

Helen Chen had started to hope that she'd found peace.

After fleeing New York, she's settled in Hong Kong under a false name, found a job she loves, and even started to make new friends. But when an innocuous conversation makes her suspect her new boss, she can't resist her nature and starts digging for the truth. What she finds will change her life forever.

Mike Connelly is looking for war.

In New York, Mike Connelly grows weary of being a silent mole inside Engel's organization. Forced to take greater and greater risks by his handler, he is frustrated by the lack of results. He wants to resurrect the Unit. He wants action. But more than anything, he wants to bring the war to Engel's doorstep. But every war has a price.

The Loop is an edge-of-your-seat adventure that continues the Upgrade series and sets the stage for the final three books.

About the author

Wesley Cross

13 books41 followers
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.

I received an advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third installment of the Upgrade Series. Fast paced, tight plot. Characters are still not "round" enough, but that does not detract much from the overall experience.

Looking forward to the next book.

The plot thickens and gets ever more complicated in this book. It’s an interesting near-future world he’s building.
