In the
sequel to The Silent Invasion, the
story picks up from the cliffhanger ending after Callie runs into the father she thought was dead. Grieving
the absence of her beloved little sister Gracie and Matt, Callie has no choice but to follow her
changed father deep into the Zone.
She senses
her father's not the same person he was but has no other choice; she must trust him. Callie doesn’t know if
Gracie is dead; she’s broken, exhausted and has no one else left.
Throughout the trek back to her father’s base, she hears whispers and senses she may be part of the change but fights against it. When her father reveals that she has the genetic power to stop the change, they come after her.

She won’t stop until the change can be halted. But how can she do that if a greater
catastrophe is imminent? All seems completely lost and only the final instalment in this captivating trilogy can shed the light on Callie's fate.
An action-filled novel with a fearless, determined protagonist,
compelling characters and unexpected allegiances. James Bradley has built a thought-provoking, frightening story world set in the near future, which is not too difficult to imagine.
