Ebook Release: TBD

Print Release: TBD

Larken Marche is mostly human. Dandelion Lemaire, former international transport security droid, is definitely not…but she tries. Their relationship is complicated, and even more complicated by the fact that Larken is the single most influental voice against the militant anti-cloning extremists on the West Coast. As Europe falls before similar extremists, a group called Liberti Custodi, Larken must expand her influence to fight the emerging threat. They won’t fold lightly, and fighting back may cost her her life.

Meanwhile, Amanda Briggs, a genetically-altered clone, or model, loses her last fight in the pits and is forced into early retirement. When she sets her sights on Guthrie Beaumont, the dashing yet cruel high-level employee in the facility she’s forced to live in, at first everything seems perfect. It’s only later when he shows his true cruelty, and an unplanned pregnancy forces her hand, then she must make a decision: stay in the abusive environment and deal with the fallout, or volunteer to be one of a few hundred to join an experimental community outside the compound walls. Either decision risks the life of her unborn daughter.

In a dystopian future where genetically-altered clones are the new slaves, Larken and Amanda’s paths cross unexpectedly in this explosive third novel in the Virtual Wars hexalogy: Inertia and Momentum.
