[Ripple 03] • Unfurl

CONCLUSION TO THE RIPPLE TRILOGY

Against all expectations, Samantha Ruiz has survived attacks by two of Helmann's deadliest assassins. She's alive, but she's far from safe. Helmann is planning a second Holocaust and wants Sam to play a starring role. Will, meanwhile, separated from Sam by an ocean, seeks a way to prevent Helmann's apocalypse. Along with Sir Walter and Mickie, Will plays a deadly game sneaking into Geneses' facilities, discovering unsettling clues as to Helmann's plans. The clock ticks down as Will and Sam discover just how much they must be willing to sacrifice to stop Helmann. UNFURL, the powerful conclusion to The Ripple Series, will leave fans breathless.

From the Back CoverWILL-It was her shoulders I missed the most. Brown in the sun, arms pumping hard. And I'd see those bones--shoulder blades--and they'd look like tiny wing buds. Nested, waiting to unfurl. Man, I missed her.

SAM-I pulled my sweater tighter and tried to find the constellations while the countdown to the new year began. Ten, nine--was that Cassiopeia? Eight, seven, six--that one had to be Orion. Five, four, three--could Will see Orion in France, or were the stars different there? Two, one. I miss you, Will.

About the AuthorHey Book Lovers! My name is Cidney and I'm a full time writer of young adult science fiction and fantasy novels. (That is, when I can persuade my cat to move off the keyboard.) I'm easily distracted by shiny things such as new book covers, direct sunlight, and Mars set against an inky night sky. My summer so far has included learning to milk goats, baking thirteen pies for friends who wanted Wedding Pie instead of cake, and trying to tan my pasty-white Oregon skin. (That last isn't going too well.) If you'd like to visit, I hang out at cidneyswanson.com where I natter on about this and that and occasionally give away cool stuff. Stop by and we'll chat! Not sure what to chat about? Here are some convo starters:-What would you do first if you could turn invisible? -If you had to pick rescuing your brother OR saving your planet, who would get the shaft?-What's the best movie you've seen this year?I look forward to hearing from you!
