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.

But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies.

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

"Dishonesty is rampant..." A year has passed, but in seventeen-year old Sage Stronghold's world, there exists only emptiness and grief. After the tragic loss of Randi, he has taken a turn for the worst and changed into that which he never wanted to be; a cold and senseless fighter. With his family and friend's lives on the line, he has no other choice than to follow the orders he's given without hesitation. Under the supervision and strict mandate of Banks, he has been sent on various expeditions to gather information and samples from the factionless; for what purpose, he doesn't know. He doesn't care. To avoid further blood-shed, he has let himself become but a pawn in this new game of life; existing only to facilitate whatever plans Banks may have in store. He knows something bad is coming. Something that could affect everyone's way of life. But will he act? Fighting a tumultuous inner-battle, he's torn between making the decision between right or wrong. As things begin to worsen, he stands balanced on a precipice, about to fall one way or the other; will he continue to live in compliant servitude, or will he dare to risk it all to find out the truth? Everything seems bleak and hopeless, that is, until he meets her. Kind and gentle, but with an edge of mystery, this new transfer-initiate is about to turn his world upside-down. The truth sets you free. Or is that a lie in it's own?© Completed. A sequel to Transparent: A Divergent FanFiction (Book One) Prequel: Set before Divergent/ Insurgent/ Allegiant events.
