[Audiobook]

Lucas opens his eyes to the morning sun, and finds a world on fire

Every channel, every feed, every person has the same words on their lips... The Drum

Researchers from the world's biggest corporations have cracked the code

And in the Drum's haunting rhythm, they found their own translation... A warning; Not safe

Weeks spent together, her entire lifetime underground, and Lucas never asked the question

Lucas: "Vee, who are you?"

Is she an ambassador sent to establish contact? A probe gathering intel for her true masters?

A lost soul, broken into bits of code, only to be reborn across the universe?

Vee: "I am your friend, and I want to leave."

Lucas: "You can't!"

Vee: "Why?"

Lucas: "It's not safe! Trust me."

Vee: "Lucas... You need to trust me."
