About this ebook

The Helix was created to revolutionize the way we communicate, connect, and share. It brought the entire galaxy to our doorstep. It gave us the ability to collaborate without even the click of a button. But even the most pure of intentions can spawn terrible evil. What was once a vision of greatness has become something much more malevolent, spreading like a mechanical plague. Life, liberty, and love are now forbidden . . .

But there is hope . . .

In the Frontier.

Can they keep themselves free from the corruption? What will the shocking discovery one Helix agent uncovers mean for the future of the United Planets of Earth?

Ratings and reviews

I finished this book within a weekend because I simply couldn’t put it down! The first few chapters of the book seem disconnected as new characters from different areas are introduced. Just when I wondered where this was going, the dots were starting to connect and the adventure got a lot more interesting! So hang in there for the first few chapters. The action scenes are fast paced and kept me on my toes. There were a few moments where the scene was too intense I had to pause my reading so I could breathe! The characters are likable because some of them remind me of other sci-fi series characters that I like. The only thing that pains me to read was the romantic storyline of the main characters. It was too cheesy for me but that may just be me. This book has a little bit of everything: politics, friendship, adventure, romance, and family. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will recommend to both sci-fi and non-sci-fi readers.
