Empyre

Empyre — cover

Echelon has fallen. All hell breaks loose.

For decades, Echelon forced peace on the world. Freedom was a sham: Echelon wielded total control. In the end, two bioengineered Echelon agents — Ryan Laing and Sarah Peters — brought the conspiracy down.

But there is no happily ever after for the liberators, or for humanity. With Echelon’s fall, a power vacuum has opened — and all hell breaks loose. Now an outsider in the world he created, Ryan retreats into the wastelands of Antarctica and a life of isolation. But when Sarah is blamed for a series of terrorist attacks, Ryan must return to a world he wanted to forget. Could Sarah be responsible for these atrocities, or is she a pawn in a much larger game?

The answer lies with EMPYRE, a shadow organization at the center of the chaos gripping the globe. Ryan’s only hope is to uncover EMPYRE’s devastating secret — a battle that drives Ryan and Sarah from the dark corners of the earth to a floating, guarded city where the ultimate plot against humanity awaits.
