Storm of Lightning

by Richard Paul Evans

First published 2015

Michael Vey stares at the smoking ruins of what used to be their safe house. The resistance lies in tatters. The Voice has vanished into hiding. Michael doesn't know if his family is still breathing or buried somewhere under Elgen rubble. The Electroclan has lost almost everything, but Admiral-General Hatch isn't finished with them yet. His forces are already moving against Tuvalu, a small island nation that represents the first piece in Hatch's plan to dominate the globe. Michael knows that if Tuvalu falls, other countries will follow like dominoes. But something unexpected is happening inside Elgen headquarters. Cracks are forming among Hatch's inner circle. Some of his own people are beginning to question his iron-fisted rule. Michael wonders if this dissent could be the weapon the Electroclan needs to finally strike back. Or maybe it's exactly what Hatch wants them to think. Michael and his friends must decide whether to trust these signs of rebellion or prepare for the most dangerous trap of their lives.
