Allen's son is in danger. A rare form of epilepsy is damaging his brain and Allen's insurance is cutting him off. To cover the costs, Allen returns to being a high-tech mercenary. Not exactly ideal for a father who enjoys carbs far more than stomach crunches. After his first mission back, Allen soothes his wounds before getting a message from Eamon Tor, America's first trillionaire. Tor tells Allen about Eden Therapy. It treats terrible diseases but can also drive patients insane. Still, it's exciting news—especially with the offer of complete care for Allen's son as a reward. But Tor has a surprise. It's a choice that puts Allen's conscience, marriage, and abilities to the test, and sends his ragtag team on a dangerous operation halfway around the world.
Excerpt…
“Haley?” Allen called on the radio. “When they’re all in range, just scream at me.” Allen didn’t wait to hear her response. Instead, he took a deep breath, lay face down in the water, and pushed himself out into the river with his toes.
The hardest part wasn’t being pelted with bullets—the projectile shield took care of most of that. The hardest part was not reacting in any way as the bullets hit him like a thousand tiny hammers. Fortunately for Allen, mechs were not ones to waste bullets on what they perceived to be a dead body. Just as he couldn’t bear the pain any longer, the firing stopped. Now all he had to worry about was drowning.
The sounds of the world came through the water with otherworldly distortion. Under the murky river, the noise of servo motors blended with splashes from the mechs walking toward Allen. Then another set joined the chorus, farther off. And finally a third set. Together, they got closer. And closer.
A new sound split its way through the throbbing noise headed for Allen, like something between a shrieking cat and an agitated dolphin. At last, the sound Allen had been waiting for.
