BLURB:
17-year old DALTA RIM is a sentinel of the Wall, the last military organization, thirteen years after the alien Invasion of Earth. Rumours have been flying about a potential full-force attack of the extraterrestrials – called Others by the survivors – that will level America, the city inside the steel dome, as long as she can remember, and every soldier knows about the importance of stopping it at all cost, but when Dalta stumbles upon an obscure tranmission device on one of her scouting missions and comes under the scrutiny of the Council, the Post-Invasion government, it becomes clear the breach is not the only problem that needs to be solved.
The Council is hiding something crucial to the survival of America, and they are willing to kill to keep it secret. Her life and that of her adopted brother, JACK, threatened, Dalta joins the conspiracy of medic OWEN EARLY and the annoyingly handsome sentinel LOGAN PENDRAY to uncover the Council's secret.
But who has the answers before America is consumed like the rest of world? The religious cult whose half-mad members worship the Others as the harbingers of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and believe Judgement Day is neigh? Owen Early's late parents, the genetic scientists? Logan Pendray's father, the General of Sector 03, Dalta's division's part of the Wall, and member of the Council? Dalta's own dead mother and the single cryptic clue she left? The Others themselves?
And what will happen when they find out everything they thought to be true is a lie? What will they do if the answers are so devastating even their worst nightmares don't match up?
