Beschreibung

Mika has a new, near-indestructible body-a side effect of the Purge virus. Yet he broods in obscurity, pushing away everyone, including Amy, the one person who can lift his spirits. But when the Purge starts killing again, twenty years after it vanished, he accepts an open-ended mission and disappears. Thrust into power amid chaos, Amy struggles to rebuild a world ripped apart by the tension between those who carry the Purge and those who don't. When a general exploits that rift to grab power, Amy makes a bold decision that antagonizes the leaders of two states. As victims with Purge symptoms multiply, Mika returns with frightening news about the virus' variants and origins. With time running out, Amy must unite the bickering factions to stop the new outbreak from destroying their fragile society. But can she trust Mika again?

Autor

Kagan Tumer is a science fiction author and professor of Robotics and AI. He attended seven schools in five cities in four countries, all before reaching high school. The constant upheaval taught him two things: observe the world and the people in it because you need to understand them and don't get too attached to any place or anyone because neither will be there next year. Turns out, that's pretty good training for a writer. Along the way, Kagan worked as a cafeteria food server, registrar's office clerk, print shop copier, soccer referee, math tutor, and well logging engineer. He has a PhD in computer engineering and worked on multi-robot coordination at NASA for nine years. A member of SFWA, he lives in the Pacific Northwest. His debut novel, 'Purged Souls', was a Foreword INDIES Book of the Year finalist. When not writing, he studies AI ethics, teaches robotics, and mentors future scientists.
