Book summary

Two attack squads; each led by Amelia Harris and Ben Vargas. Club SOHO; the target of their desires. What they find inside while on the hunt for a person of interest puts them on a whirlwind of fatalities and bloodshed. A descending babel follows their mission, the Balmore Twin Towers Fort is adrift without the leadership of her father but Amelia has taken his place. Upon discovering her late father's arcane notes of 'Project Life Tanker', she and Ben see where it may lead to... All the limited clues and all the pieces she and Ben know of lead to a rescue undertaking of Emilio Javier Vargas from Eldreth the Departer's inhuman grasp-back to where the few remnants of the Penn Commune narrowly escaped from. The old Steward may be the one man to be to save the fort from eating itself and provide the final piece to Project Life Tanker. Seeing the recklessness grow within his old friend, Dante Rossi involves himself in Amelia's scheme to observe Ben. Within the Balmore fort itself, Avery Whitfield feels herself fracture from under the immense weight of the mental wounds of her assault and the guilt, as well as from the social isolation and resentment from the young Brit she looks up to. In their absence, she only feels herself falling deeper in despair but begins to find a slither of solace in a local Balmore resident taking interest in her...

From back of the book

A GHETTO IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST. OUTSIDERS WITH A MOST DANGEROUS SECRET. A PERILOUS JOURNEY.

The power vacuum extingueshed in the Balmore Twin Towers Fort-Garret O'Conner imprisoned-Amelia Harris reigns in her late father's place. She and Ben Vargas incite a bold undertaking; rescue the Steward from Eldreth the Departer's captivity in his glass tower ... with high chance of a hefty body count.

Reeling from the toll his past inaction has brought, Dante Rossi is embroiled in their relentless pursuit and sees how it's affecting Ben. The hectic stay in the fort weighs in on them all-especially on Avery Whitfield's already troubled mind-as the distrust and disarray boils behind every wall of every floor.
