In a world where security cameras prove what you have done and databases define who you are, the few who know how to manipulate the technology can play God. They can change the future; they can alter the past. They can make big money, they can save the world, and they can get away with murder over and over again. Danielle Leaf grew up believing she was safe. Now she knows she was wrong. Award-winning author Jon Evans returns with new heroes and a compulsive, fast-paced story that examines issues of Third World exploitation and the extreme edge of anti-capitalist activism. Invisible Armies is Cold War suspense for the modern age, a thriller that looks behind the power of protests and the politics of big business. Reviews "Thought-provoking ... Invisible Armies is an intriguing, pacy read and Mr Evans shows great potential."-The Economist "A tough-as-nails technothriller... People who aren't morons and like thriller novels ought to read this."-Bruce Sterling "Evans has created a new genre, the travelogue as fast-paced action thriller."-Montreal Gazette About the Author Jon Evans's novels have been published around the world, translated into half a dozen languages, and praised by The Economist, The Times of London, and the Washington Post. His journalism has appeared in Wired, Reader's Digest, The Guardian, The Globe & Mail, and The Times of India, and he writes a weekly column for TechCrunch. He can be found online at www.rezendi.com.

She's the Omega; he's the Alpha's son. Her life's been full of pain; his has been full of parties, popularity, and potential. She's filled with shame; he's filled with pride. She's had to learn independence; he doesn't know the meaning of the word. No guy would want to be seen dead with her; he's got girls begging for his attention. She's accepted she's nothing; his ego is the size of the sun. She's the shadow; he's the light. They're from completely opposite ends of the spectrum. How can two people have both lived for the same amount of years but the outcomes be so different? And can you believe that they used to be best friends when they were younger? How will they react when they both find out that they're predestined mates? And what happens when they're forced to work together to help protect the Pack? Read 'OMEGA' to find out! This story is completed but soon to be under major construction so apologies for any plot holes/time gaps/confusion that may occur until it's finished!! The cover was made by 0LizzyBrown0 :)
