After the alien invasion, Anya Nowicki thought she'd settle into the easy life: a cushy government job, living in the world's most advanced city with her new girlfriend, and generally not dealing with anything more dangerous than meetings that should have been emails. She was right—for a while. However, Earth's recent success against the ravenous gnosiphages has drawn the eyes of other extraterrestrial life. Humanity's unprecedented growth across fields of technology and magic thanks to the Archive has the greater powers across the galaxy worried. They've sent three powerful warriors to observe Earth's hosts and—if necessary—put them down for good. Worse, the brief period of global unification mankind experienced during the invasion is already starting to strain. A shadowy group of Archive-enhanced terrorists has begun to emerge, and if they're not found and stopped, it could mean global war. With enemies closing in at home and from beyond, Anya and her friends will have to watch their backs or lose everything they've fought so hard to gain. This book contains strong language and graphic violence.
