But after the gathering is attacked, they discover that Melissa Kwan has gone missing. Before long, others start vanishing, too. Who could be behind the disappearances? Isis? A newly resurgent Malor faction? Or an unknown player, operating in the shadows and wielding a technology never seen before? Now it's up to Jaden and Malia to get to the bottom of this mystery before they become the next victims! If you like fast-paced, sci-fi thrillers, you'll love this first novel in the next cycle of the Kwan Thrillers!
