Now it’s up to Claire to hack the networks of the enemy, outwit their attacks, and win this impossible war.<\/p>\n Battling ferociously across the Earth-Moon system and navigating a complex world filled with both steadfast loyalists and ruthless traitors, Claire fights to defend the president, the zone, and herself.
