Going Dark

In the third book in The Red Trilogy, former Army Lt. James Shelley becomes a black ops sniper working for the Red&;a suspected rogue artificial intelligence that is ripped from today&;s headlines.

James Shelley has left his lover, Delphi, and his companion-in-arms, Jayne Vasquez, with a fortune acquired from a fallen oligarch. They believe him to be dead, and he doesn&;t try to set the record straight. His long-running question has been answered: There are other soldiers like him who have served the purposes of the Red&;and he has accepted his place among them. As a soldier of the Red he pursues covert missions designed to nudge history away from existential threats&;but that doesn&;t mean the world is growing more orderly. It&;s only in the froth of a &;managed chaos&; that human potential can grow and thrive. Shelley&;s missions eventually take him into orbit&;and into conflict with those he loves&;Delphi and Jaynie&;who are determined to escape the influence of the Red.
