AscendantThe Martiniere Legacy - Book Two
WHAT DOES ASCENSION TO POWER REALLY COST?
Six months after the conclusion of the AgInnovator Superhero game show, one of Ruby's agricultural biobots, the Defender, leads to unsettling revelations about crop tampering using body-modified indentured workers. Meanwhile, Brandon uncovers even more disturbing information about the abuse of indentureds as he campaigns to end it. All of these disclosures lead back to the Martiniere Group, the family corporation controlled by Gabe’s malevolent uncle, Philip Martiniere. Ruby and Gabe's need to rescue one of Brandon’s valued indentured informants turns celebration into catastrophe. Will they be able to recover from this disaster—or will Philip triumph yet again in his campaign to destroy Gabe? |
