Publisher's summary

Nearly a decade has passed since the leadership decapitation of both the Conflagrian Revolution and the Nurro-Ichthyothian Resistance. Without Red Leader Scarlet July and Ichthyothian Diving Fleet Commander Cease Lechatelierite, the northwestern hemisphere of Second Earth has fallen prey to endless war, oppression, poverty, and isolation.

Heartbroken over the state of the world, the unfulfilled prophecy, the loss of his friends and the death of Scarlet and Cease’s unborn son, war veteran Nurtic Leavesleft retreats to civilian Nuria and resigns to living out his days in depressive monotony...until he unexpectedly comes across a peculiar child who strongly reminds him of the legendary comrades he lost, so long ago. Did covalent, iridescent Commence July Lechatelierite somehow survive Scarlet’s assassination, and will Second Earth ever be the same because of it?

The six-novel Spectrum series follows an eclectic cast of young adults fighting to survive and find their place and purpose in the wars plaguing the dystopian, future world of Second Earth. From fantastical world-building, to combat sequences, to geopolitics, to the exploration of a soldier's psyche, to racial and social commentary, to the turmoil and confusion that comes with the teenage years, to forbidden romance, this sextet is a fast-paced, character-driven, sci-fi/fantasy adventure for the Divergent and Hunger Games generation.

Mina graduated at the top of her class at the University of Virginia (UVA), majoring in political science, anthropology and English, and has since worked in law, government, human resources, and office management. She has served as the Director of Support for Arnold Air Society Area II and holds lifetime memberships in various academic honor societies. In addition to the prize-winning Spectrum Novel Series, available online and in bookstores nationwide, she has poetry, short stories, research, essays, articles, and artwork published in several literary magazines and journals. Her debut novel was honored in the American Fiction Awards. Her personal story and acting were featured in Discovery Health Channel's Mystery Diagnosis program, airing internationally. She lives in Reston, Virginia, a few miles outside the nation's capital, but regularly travels the country for her book tour.

It's the much anticipated final chapter

Scarlett's and Cease's memory and spirit live on in that of their troubled but brilliant son, Commence (Ence for short). Thank you, Samantha, for such a wonderful ride through Second Earth!
