Paperback. "Seraph, come!" The man's voice reverberated from within the Havana shelter, echoing from one distant loudspeaker to another. Responding to his master's command, a peregrine falcon flew through an immense underground complex where Cuban workers loaded supplies and weapons into covert transport vehicles. The year is 2031, and Seth Macklin's unwanted memories of darker days flood back. In a flash, he recalls the torment he suffered as an abused child, six years of incarceration, and the enmity he felt for his identical twin brother, Chance, a successful architect who struggled to help his embattled brother when they were young. Seth is no longer the deranged person who threatened to harm Chance's wife, Cassandra, and their young daughter, Angel, thirty years ago. In the present day, his anonymous life-changing innovations in microbiology finance humanitarian operations to combat a rogue military in Havana, Cuba. Brad Genova's bestselling novel detailing Seth's supposed demise is featured on Angel's talk show, Hell's Angel. The public humiliation Seth is forced to endure when the show airs inspires a plan to reenter their lives and teach the young couple a lesson, while also providing what Seth hopes will be an avenue to achieve some degree of redemption. A dangerous game of hide-and-seek unfolds within the backdrop of a sensory-enhanced Virtual Reality Internet, the blighted area of a Havana orphanage, and a brutal militant regime. At breakneck speed, the race is on to rescue Angel and Brad from a world they could never have imagined.

A woman wakes with no memory on a road in Havana. The man who put her there loves her.
Seth Macklin drowned in a New Hampshire lake in 1999. Three days of divers found a shotgun and half a boathouse and no body.
Thirty-two years later, he is in a room under Havana, watching his niece interview the man who wrote a book about his death.
The book got the facts right and the man wrong. So Seth takes her.
Angel Genova wakes on a road four hours later with no name and no history, and for a fortnight she is nobody at all. A stranger takes her in. She learns sixty names before she learns her own.
Four thousand miles away, her husband is on a plane with the wrong visa and the right photograph.
What Seth built was an experiment. What he did not build was a hurricane, a colonel, a boy in a truck, and a woman who turns out to be better with nothing than she ever was with everything.
Everyone in this book gets a second chance. Not one of them gets the one they asked for.
