Overnight, Tomás Chen-Diaz has gone from an outcast on the brink of death, to a man whose vast wealth and global connections offer staggering opportunities and responsibility.

But his bright future is soon threatened by corporate treachery and intrigue, even as he fights to keep his own family secrets hidden while settling private scores—discreetly.

For instance: how should he dispose of his murderous brother, Francisco, who was ruled a clone and stripped of all legal rights?

And what of the plight of Selena Vasquez-Medina, the beautiful, genetically-perfected model whom Francisco seduced and betrayed years earlier? Can she be located and ever heal from her past mistreatment enough to trust Tomás?

To aid him with these challenges, Tomás enlists the skilled American cyborg law enforcer, Owen MacIntyre. But with plenty of his own personal trauma and responsibilities to deal with, is MacIntyre ready to take on the role of behind-the-scenes player in Vibora Enterprises—and mediator between the rancorous Chen brothers themselves?

Because his time and skills are sorely needed to help protect the unstable United States from a gathering storm of civil unrest…

Part thriller, part intimate psychological drama, this epic follow-up to Echoes Through Distant Glass tracks a memorable cast of characters as they continue to explore the vivid landscape of the almost-future, while enduring the temptations, successes, loves and loss, without which no one can truly grow.
