[The Rimes Trilogy 03] • Awakening to Judgment

Before the genies fled human space, they tested Jack Rimes. He survived and became stronger. Now the real threat to humanity has been revealed, and it's more inhuman than the genies ever were.

The metacorporations fled Earth when the United Nations cracked down on labor abuses, pollution, and playing one nation against another. But the metacorporations need Earth and the colonies to survive, so they've come back, and they're bent on taking what's theirs: Earth. Rimes has seen the horrors of war, but what he encounters fighting the metacorporate soldiers and their mercenaries goes beyond anything he could imagine.

And when they push Rimes too far, he realizes he has no choice but to become like his enemy.
