Farrugia , Sydney : Momentum Books , 2013 Z1915027 2013 single work novel science fiction thriller 'The world is reeling in the aftermath of genocide. Former black operative Sophia is among the remnants of the Akhana, a once-strong organized resistance against the all-powerful world government known as the Fifth Column. Branded as the world's most wanted terrorist, Sophia barely escaped her last encounter with the organization with her life. Now a new threat is emerging from inside the Fifth Column. Project Seraphim: a technology utilizing extremely low frequencies that can make anyone feel and do anything at any time. Mass populations will fall under the influence of an almost unlimited power. To stop them Sophia must join forces with former friends turned enemies and former enemies turned unlikely allies—first among them Denton, a master manipulator whom she would prefer to run her knife through than work with. Sophia has four days. Four days before what little freedom the human race has left is gone forever. The brutal game of betrayal and counter-betrayal that began with the international bestseller, The Chimera Vector, continues in this highly anticipated sequel.'
