The Dying Light

Morgan Roche is a renegade, fleeing the agents she used to work for in the Commonwealth of Empires. Her quest to understand Adoni Cane has led her to a terrible truth. He is one of a breed of genetically enhanced warriors that once terrorized the galaxy. And there might be more of them, waking up to begin fighting anew. AN INTERSTELLAR TRAP: A whole solar system has disappeared, wiped from the universe in an attempt to snare just one super-soldier like Cane. In an attempt to come to grips with her enemy, Morgan Roche and The Box travel willingly into the trap, but find themselves ensnared in ever-thicker tangles of deception and intrigue. Who is The Box, and is what its agenda, really? The answer will rock Roche_s world right down to the foundations. _I'm not sure what an Evergence is, but finding out promises to provide hours of fun._ --Locus _Genre-savvy and capably written, full of adventure and Asimovian imperial vistas_ --Asimov's _Full of adventure of Asimovian imperial vistas.
