The rat is playing hide and seek!

Jace, Onima, and Kara are literally under the gun after an unexpected betrayal. This new threat comes as they're investigating obscene money moves, attempts at weakening the Confederation government and the Bureau, plus increasing anti-clone sentiment. Yet, the disparate pieces and players on the board point to something else. But what?

Feroz and his confederates are playing multiple games. Is their goal to take down the Confederation and bring back hidden pre-war leaders? Is it all about amassing surreal wealth unseen in centuries? Or is it something else entirely?

The team is racing against the clock to work out the turncoat's gambit, play his shell game, and learn the real conspiracy theory. The consequences of failing might undo more than a decade of stability. And what price are they willing to pay to preserve the Confederation and all it stands for?
