After rescuing their daughter, Marie, from corporate-controlled Earth, Millicent and Ryker thought they were safe on their off-world paradise. They were wrong.
Toton, once thought the weakest conglomerate, is now dominating ruined Earth with a sinister new technology. By harvesting minds for use in their supercomputers, they’re enslaving the best and brightest humans to further their agenda. Millie and Ryker know that it’s just a matter of time before Toton realizes the biggest prize—Marie’s “gifted” mind—is merely a rocket ride away.
As the anticorporate Rebel Nation and rival companies alike scramble to thwart Toton’s inhuman machinations, society teeters on the brink. No longer safe, Millie and Ryker must sacrifice their hard-won freedom to return home and stand with the burgeoning revolution—outmanned, outgunned, and aided only by a most unexpected ally on the inside: Millie’s nemesis and estranged sister, Danissa.
But can a family’s love survive greed gone mad in a world that measures human life on a balance sheet?
I truly loved the first book in this series and was rather eager to get into this one. Some time has passed since then, so this may have definitely hindered my reading experience. The one thing that truly stood out for me was that there was little to no romance in this one and that held me back from enjoying this.
I definitely considered book 1 to be a science fiction romance, but that's just me, personally. The relationship between Millicent and Ryker is still stronger than ever especially with their kids in the mix. They had their little moments they shared here and there, but never enough to my liking.
As for the science-fiction side, it's there 100%. I loved the constant action from beginning to end. As thrilling as it was, there was something that wasn't pulling me in. The multiple POVs and overwhelming introductions of different characters had me confused at times. But I'm going to say that because it has been years since my last read in this series, I'm sure I have forgotten who they were.
As far as K.F. Breene books go, not quite my favorite, but still an enjoyable read.
