A series of copycat crimes end in absurd messages meant specifically for Chicago's FBI Special Agent in Charge Kerry O'Malley. Just as a direct connection to Kerry's brother is uncovered, Kerry falls seriously ill. Neil secludes her in a secret Group facility and forges a desperate alliance to provide her with life-saving treatment. However, the sacrifice of his most valuable asset may be her only hope. A child with a neural connection to the Choice system was at the center of Neil's plan to unravel the Group's global conspiracy. As he scrambles to salvage his life's work and faces morally ambiguous, heartrending decisions, Russian insurrectionist Mikhail Kovanov escapes captivity and begins to destabilize the fragile peace that had quieted the world. Civil unrest erupts and war with China looms. The front-running US presidential candidate Reilly McGuinty is targeted for assassination with cutting-edge Group technology. Alliances are forged between demagogues, ideologues, and ruthless mercenaries. While the world teeters on the brink of mutually assured destruction, Kerry struggles for survival and Neil fights to secure freedom from permanent destruction.
