In a story begun when Jane Hawk’s beloved husband, Nick, declared, “I very much need to be dead,” and committed suicide, Jane continues her struggle to stay one step ahead of those who would silence her forever. The arrogance of the Techno Arcadians is all-consuming; aided by the mindless obedience of the many people they’ve “adjusted,” their malevolent plan seems destined to succeed.

Still vilified and on the run, the rogue FBI agent has managed to keep her son, Travis, safely hidden and has obtained proof of the subversive evil perpetrated by the Arcadians in the name of their own twisted vision. But after so much struggle, if Jane wants a hope-filled future for her son, and for future generations, she must now take a final step that could cost her everything.

The fifth and final book in the Jane Hawk series offers sufficient backstory for readers new to the series; a strong sense of place anchors the narrative. Alternating between Jane’s efforts to defeat the insidious machinations of the power-hungry and a tense confrontation between a film director and the billionaire who stands at the helm of the Techno Arcadian conspiracy, readers will find the palpable tension building as the story unfolds. Believable characters, a frighteningly-portentous scenario, an intricately-woven plot, and a riveting cat-and-mouse game all combine to offer readers a pulse-pounding tale of intrigue, vengeance, and unrelenting suspense. Unexpected reveals ratchet up the tension, giving readers an intense, can’t-put-it-down tale that will leave them breathless.

Highly recommended.
