The Nearly Departed

Two months after being ripped from her life and "recruited" into the shadow agency inspired by her deceased father's prophetic writings on the corporate state, Jeri Halston's initial training is over. But as she sets out to complete her final training task - the recruitment of three more of the world's most brilliant scientists - it becomes clear that the agency's own motives might be just as lethal and deceptive as the corporate powers they're out to destroy. Book II in the Jeri Halston Series weaves yet another smart, fast-paced series of storylines set across a global stage. Combining rich characters, contemporary global issues, and real-world science, The Nearly Departed blurs the line between thrilling fiction and horrifying reality.
