Synopsis:

          "Trinity has spent her life living the in the jungle, away from the Sanction world which the Emperor and the Untouchables created. Everything she knew about the outside was from murals on the pyramid walls, where she and the other members of the Enlighten tribe live. 

     One day while out hunting, the dark presence of Death appears by her side, and she becomes the hunted…

     Dax has returned home to the Purenet Sanction, as his family holds his friends and loved ones hostage. Alone and helpless, he slips back into his old life… until true friends show him the way out.

     Skylier’s fate is sealed. Time is her only hope… to get away from her fear worse than death."

This is the sequel to Purenet (Review)

     "I can feel Trinity's hands roaming down to my waist, toward my gun, and I move to stop her. Then I reconsider. "Get them!" I yell to her. I just hope we don't run out of ammo.

     Shot after shot rings out in the night, followed by screams of pain."
