Solitude and Retaliation

<p><strong>A future nobody wanted and revenge that's well deserved.</strong></p><p></p><p>In the near future cloning is not only legal but sanctioned by the United States government. The Madison Rule dictates what a clone is and the scant rights that clones have as well as the multitude of rights they don't. Clones or models as they are commonly known aren't people. Extremist groups like the Human Pride Movement fight to keep the models in their proper place at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Only a handful of people have found themselves entangled with HPM and survived. Larken is one of those people.</p><p></p><p>After a harrowing attack that nearly cost Larken the use of her legs she has finally recovered but she'll never be the sports superstar that she'd planned on for her future. She doesn't know what her future will look like any longer only that she hasn't died and she's tired of fighting. Larken naively believes that she's free of the conflict and thanks in part to her stalwart friends she might have an opportunity at a normal life.</p><p></p><p>When Larken's friend and roommate Samantha disappears the stark truth becomes crystal clear that there is no future for Larken without forever being harassed by the group that once tried to kill her and her brother for it's the same group that kidnapped and assaulted her roommate. Only a single question remains once Larken discovers what HPM has done: does she honor her friend's wishes and let the incident go unanswered or does hot-headed Larken take up a revenge mission? The decision may kill what's left of her dreams and may even go so far as to cost Larken her life.</p><p></p><p>The protagonist of <strong>Evasion and Defiance</strong> is back and she just might be bringing hell with her.</p>
