The sequel to Rise of the Red Hand, a searing portrayal of the future of climate change in South Asia. After inflicting a devastating blow on the autocratic provincial government, Ashiva, Synch, and their remaining allies must take on the planetary government, which wants the Red Hand exterminated.\n\nThe South Asian Province’s secret prison has been destroyed and its leaders are on trial. But the Red Hand is more endangered than ever. The Planetary Alliance Commission has branded them public enemy number one and is determined to root their remaining forces out of their Himalayan base, even as the pandemic rages on in the province.\n\nAshiva, armed with a new bionic upgrade, leads a team back into the fray to track down a mysterious beacon that may well be a trap. Synch helps lock down and evacuate their mountain stronghold. Taru discovers a precious resource that everyone – especially the PAC – is desperate to control. And the PAC is all too willing to sacrifice an entire province to achieve their optimal results.\n\nAshiva, Synch, and Taru must save their homeland before its entire population is sacrificed for the greater planetary good.
