Abstract:
In this thrilling follow-up to THE JOURNEYMAN, Kyla Hunter tries living a normal life with her new daughter, but the ghosts of her past have a way of resurfacing. Dean Beckett and his hacker friend Hiroshi start to drift apart as their friendship gets tested by the evil Wizard and a strange old Japanese man, who regards Hiroshi as some sort of messianic warrior. Rumors and conspiracies abound on Mars, and an important man pays with his life. And the final voyage of the pirate starship MERCURIAL withholds the greatest discovery in mankind—and perhaps the greatest danger.
