Midshipman Ariadne Jin is a USNA student with everything going for her: smarts, looks, a good attitude, and a great boyfriend. Anya Factor is an agent in an international antiterrorism organization known only as the Network, whose ability to fit in everywhere is the perfect cover for not being truly known anywhere. But when a mission goes badly, she ends up fighting for her life in the care of the one doctor in the world who knows her past while her partner is fighting the clock to track down the biggest threat in the Network's post-9/11 existence, and the lives of everyone involved converge in a way that nobody would have thought possible.
The Foreword Reviews
September 11, 2001, changed the United States forever. Terrorism became a much larger and more realistic fear, and many people began to look to the government for reassurance and protection.
The story follows two female secret agents, Anya Factor and Charlotte Lawson. Early in the book, the two are sent to India to assassinate a member of the British parliament named Alastair Lane, who has been selling secrets to the enemy. At some point during the operation, their cover is blown and they end up fleeing the country. Anya is seriously wounded with a gunshot wound and when they reach the safety of a military hospital in DC, they run into another major snafu. The surgical intern on staff is Jeremias Geist, who was once in love with Anya Factor (albeit, when she was known by a different name). He unknowingly blows her cover by providing the hospital with her real identity, Ariadne Jin. As Ariadne fights first for her life, and then to reconcile with Jeremias, Charlotte tries to figure out who was purchasing information from Lane.
Convergence is a fast-paced, well-constructed, highly-entertaining story. The author does an excellent job of weaving together many strands in a complex plot, offering the reader a little bit of everything: action, intrigue, politics, betrayal, and romance.
Hesse has created a very intriguing world in The Network. The convergence is ultimately about Ariadne and Jeremias, and the reader will be completely satisfied with the conclusion of their story.
