Dead Current

Book Five of The Dead Alive. The man behind the plague has a name, and Juno finally has a way to reach him. When an extraction attempt fails and a captured prisoner reveals the identity of the program's true architect, Juno and Nadia lead an alliance strike force toward the one compound built to never fall. Getting there costs more than either of them is prepared to pay, and the man they find waiting isn't the monster they expected. He's something worse: someone who still believes he was right. Stopping him doesn't end it. Behind Augustin Sorrell stands a board that answers to no one, a continuity mechanism decades older than the flood itself, built to survive exactly this kind of resistance. What Juno and Nadia uncover next reaches further back and further underground than anything they've fought so far, and confirms a name, a target, and a truth neither of them is ready to fully accept. Victory has never come clean in this fight. This time, it comes with a cost Juno isn't telling anyone about.
