The Voice of Freedom (Shadow Voice) is still broadcasting
rebellion encouraging citizens to repeat the events of
1776, to revolt against unfair taxation and to stand up for
freedom and democracy. As Bree "Banzai" Maguire, the symbol
of the revolution, sits in a UCE prison awaiting trial for
treason, her thoughts are of her missing wingmate,
Cameron "Scarlet" Tucker, who was shot down with her 170
years ago and put in bio-stasis. Cam wasn't in the cave
where Bree was discovered, so where is she?
Cam has been living in a rustic, remote village along the
Rim area in the Asian Kingdom ruled by the Han Emperor,
Prince Kyber, the same man who brought Banzai out of stasis
months ago. Kyber fancied himself in love with Banzai and
was devastated when she thwarted him, escaping with his
nemesis, Tyler Armstrong. Kyber has sworn he'll never let
his heart rule his emotions again. Kyber, too, is wondering
what happened to the other pilot shot down with Banzai.
When he hears of a woman matching the missing pilot's
description living in the ancient village, he decides to
disguise himself and check it out personally. What he
discovers is more than he ever anticipated. Cam proves to
be even stronger and more impressive than her friend, and
Kyber is attracted to Cam more than he'd like to admit.
As revolution threatens to explode in the UCE, Cam must
convince Kyber to take a stand by her side and support the
changing face of the world. Together they devise a
thrilling mission to save Bree and Tyler. As the fate of
these four lovers becomes intertwined with the crucial
fight for liberty, the conclusion proves to be explosive
and satisfying, as well as surprising when you find out who
is the Shadow Voice.
Ms. Grant does a fantastic job of tying up all the loose
ends in this final chapter to the dynamic 2176
action/adventure series and giving it the kind of closure
it deserves. In the end, she brings together all the brave
women from the five stories who were instrumental in
forging their triumphant new world. Way to go, Susan!
