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.

Rett Carlile was a young man just over twenty years old. Moving from town to town because trouble seemed to find him wherever he was, Rett was a drifter. Now not looking for trouble, Rett was just as ready to give as those who gave. After a little scrap with some no goods in a small town, Rett found himself on the road again, but this time really wanting to settle down. Well, it was like that until Rick Flynn hailed his campfire one night and spoke legends of gold, indians, haunts, and the possibility of a better life. With nothing but his horse and his guns, a man needed some kind of money to start a life. Why not go hunting for some?

Deniah Williams is the one person who does not fear them. And her reason? Gray Skies. He saved her life as children and has been her friend since that day. She knows there is something unique about her friend and his people and yet she asks no questions. She has trust in him and for her that's enough.
