Cypher: The Violet Wars, cartea 2
Autor Rich Larsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 dec 2019
Yorick never wanted to see his homeworld again. He left Ymir two decades ago, with half his face blown off and no love lost for the place. But when his employer's mines are threatened by a vicious alien machine, Yorick is shipped back home to hunt it.
All he wants is to do his job and get out. Instead, Yorick is pulled into a revolution brewing beneath Ymir's frozen surface, led by the very last person he wanted to see again-the brother who sent him off in pieces twenty years ago.

Notă biografică
"Yorick never wanted to see his homeworld again. [Twenty] years later, he finds himself sent back to the icy mining colony as a company man--and he can't leave this frozen rock in the dust until he neutralizes the threat. A vicious, long-forgotten machine has newly thawed from the ice, and it seems to have a mind of its own. But as Yorick plumbs the depths of the mines and his own past, he finds a tangled conspiracy that's much more than he bargained for--and its source is closer to home than he ever could have guessed"--

Descriere
The gripping sequel to Rich Larson's beautiful and gut-wrenching debut Annex about two outsiders surviving, fighting back, and finding family at the end of the world.
The invasion is over, but not all the aliens are gone. As the outside world learns what happened to the city, Violet and Bo struggle to keep their ally Gloom hidden from prying eyes.
Those in power believe he is the key to unlocking the invaders' technology, and will stop at nothing to capture him.
All the while, the invasion's survivors are being drawn to a mysterious anomaly that might be their destruction -- or their salvation from an even greater threat.
