Alone for a millennium, since a human murdered her beloved consort,
Ashra, the immortal icrathari queen, rules over Aeternae Noctis,
the domed city of eternal night. Her loneliness appears to be at an
end when her consort's soul is reborn in a human, Jaden Hunter, but
their reunion will not be easy. Icrathari are born, not made. If
Ashra infuses Jaden with her immortal blood, he will be a vampire,
a lesser creature of the night, a blood-drinker rather than a
soul-drinker. Furthermore, Jaden is sworn to protect his
half-sister, five-year-old Khiarra. She is the child of prophecy,
destined to end the eternal night and the dominion of the Night
Terrors-the icrathari and the vampires. As Ashra struggles to
sustain her crumbling kingdom in the face of enemies without and
treachery within, Jaden fights to defend his sister and unravel a
greater mystery: what is the city of eternal night, and how did it
come to be?
An alpha empath, Danyael Sabre has survived abominations and super
soldiers, terrorists and assassins, but he cannot survive his
failing body. He wants only to live out his final days in peace,
but life and the woman he loves, the assassin Zara Itani, have
other plans for him. Galahad, the perfect human being created by
Pioneer Labs, is branded an international threat, and Danyael is
appointed his jury, judge, and executioner. Danyael alone believes
that Galahad can be the salvation that the world needs, but is the
empath blinded by the fact that Galahad shares his genes, and the
hope that there is something of him in Galahad? In a desperate race
against time and his own dying body, Danyael struggles to find
fragments of good in the perfect human being, and comes to the
wrenching realization that his greatest battle will be a battle for
the heart of the man who hates him.
Don't fear the army of genetically engineered perfect killers. Fear
the cripple who leads them.
An alpha empath, Danyael Sabre is powerful, rare, and coveted,
even among the alpha mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution.
Betrayed by his friends and abandoned to a life sentence in a
maximum-security prison, Danyael receives freedom and sanctuary
from an unlikely quarter-the Mutant Assault Group, an elite mutant
task force within the US military. Physically crippled and
emotionally vulnerable, Danyael succumbs to the warmth of
friendships and the promise of love he finds within their ranks.
Friendship and love, however, demand his loyalty, and Danyael
rises to the challenge of training and leading the assault group's
genetically modified super soldier army. The super soldiers are
faster and stronger than the military's human soldiers; their
animal instincts spur ferocity and fearlessness in battle. Who is
the perfect weapon, though, the super soldiers or Danyael, the
alpha empath, who can, with a touch, heal or kill?
Adversaries swarm like vultures around carrion; the pawn is once
again in play. The threads of betrayal that sent Danyael to prison
spin into a web, ensnaring him. When a terrorist group strikes
Washington, D.C., how far will Danyael go to defend a government
that sent him to prison to die?
PERFECT WEAPON is the third novel in the award-winning Double
Helix series.
Jem Moran has a reputation to prove and a secret to protect. The
prestigious world simulation program seems the answer to both her
problems, but only if she can succeed in spite of her partner, Kir
Davos, and the uncooperative human beings who populate her planet.
From the Great Extinction to the Renaissance, from world wars to
intergalactic treaties, Jem's conflict with Kir will shape Earth's
history, and their opposing management styles will either save or
doom our planet. Either way, you finally have someone to blame for
the shape our world is in.
