In the year 2073, humans are linked through the Hoard, a massive system that holds all the world's knowledge. Society enjoys virtual reality entertainment, shopping, and medical care from anywhere, at any time, but at a price: Total connectivity breeds total reliance.

Agatha "Wick" Wickham loves her life as an Army pilot, but when her brain rejects the Gossamer chip that connects her to the Hoard, society brands her an Imp, too impaired to function in the Gossamer world. Traumatized by her military discharge and unhappy with her new career in an Imp-only unit of the NYPD, Wick wishes the Hoard would disappear.

And one day it does.

The terrorist group WAR crashes the Hoard, plunging the world into darkness and chaos. Deprived of connectivity, billions wander aimlessly and will die within days without water. Worse, WAR has made it nearly impossible to fix the problem.

Wick knows how to save the Hoard, but does she want to? As the clock runs down, she questions everything she has ever known, including her loyalties, knowing her choice will decide the fate of billions.

Fans of the hero-team concept will love the eclectic mix of characters, and the novel will simultaneously delight those who love technology's warp-speed progress and those who wish the world would stay as it is.
