THEY'VE ALMOST REALIZED THEIR DREAMS...BUT CAN THEY REMAIN THEMSELVES?
The indentured labor wars heat up as Ruby Barkley and Gabriel Martiniere struggle with medical complications that interfere with their fight to stop the sinister goals of Gabe's father Philip. Discoveries by their son Brandon about the degree to which Philip and the family corporation, the Martiniere Group, are involved in unethical, interdicted human experimentation push them into accepting a questionable treatment to speed their recovery.
Philip's direct challenge initiates Gabe's final push to take over the Martiniere Group. Ruby and Brandon consolidate family support behind Gabe. When a high-profile assassination attempt at a political banquet reveals the existence of cyborged Martiniere descendants and clones of Philip intended to provide him with replacement parts, Ruby and Gabe must take action. One clone-Michael-still survives.
Along with their bid to win control of the Martiniere empire, Ruby and Gabe now face the dilemma of what is to be done with Michael. Can they save both the family and Philip's clone-or should they even try?
The realization of their dreams is within Ruby and Gabe's reach. Can they fulfill it while still remaining true to themselves?
