R-D - La série

I got out five years ago. Untalented, they said. In other words, they didn't know what to do with me, and murder usually leaves a mess. I understood messes. Saw too many of them in my dreams.

The conditions, of course, are that I have to move every five years, check in now and then and never, ever, talk about them to anyone. It was time to move. * * * Cloud Dust is a secret, government program, in which ninety-five per cent of the volunteers are dead. Meet the one who didn't volunteer.

Ilya The rest of us woke after a few days, when it became apparent we'd survived the drug. Even Corinne woke faster the first time. This time, three weeks had passed. I was grateful for the scans and other tests Dr. Farrell ran, indicating she was alive. Still, I was terrified for her. And for me. I spoke to her often and lately, I begged her to open her eyes. After surviving the drug a second time, Corinne's abilities are put to the test as the enemy steps up his attacks. Will she survive the attempts on her life, as well as betrayal from within? As she struggles to keep the others alive, a new threat arrives—one even the enemy doesn't see coming.

The Larentii are observers only; their policy is never to involve themselves in the turmoil of other races. Corinne is now one of them. What will she do to protect those she cares for on Earth? Will she risk her life to save them? The Larentii rebel has arrived.
