HELIX: Book Two of the Hegemony Duology: 2

The dead are still following instructions. >Chicago is behind them. The system is not. After escaping the ruined city, Ethan Ward heads west with his brother Jacob, his sister Ava and the survivors who kept them alive. Their destination is Helix-a research facility that may hold answers to the changes spreading through humanity. They expect an abandoned refuge. Helix is still working. Behind its defences, people have food, medicine and protection. Beyond them, an abandoned hospital holds corpses that still perform fragments of their former lives. Memories begin passing from one mind to another. And Ethan and Ava can no longer be certain that everything inside their heads belongs to them. Ethan can sense the architecture of the network. Ava can reach into it. Together, they may be able to understand what Helix is becoming. They may also be exactly what it needs. As hostile networks close in, the struggle to stay alive becomes a fight to remain themselves. Every escape teaches the enemy. Every act of resistance gives it another pattern to use. Helix offers a way to fight back. But the system designed to protect people has learned to treat human choice as a problem to solve. To save his family, Ethan must confront a terrifying possibility: the safest place left in the world may be the one that leaves them with the least freedom. How do you fight an enemy that learns from every attempt to defeat it? HELIX is the second and final novel in the Hegemony Duology-a post-apocalyptic science-fiction horror novel combining action, psychological suspense and a fight to remain human.
