In Pursuit of O (Volume 1) M G Garel

Hacked in a global cyber war, cities darken as environ-radicals carry out their threats. Blackouts delay the reuniting of a viciously torn apart family after 30 years; just discovering the truth of their bloodline. Meanwhile the excess of ages finds an ill wind to ride. Chad Trent - orphaned and adopted from a young age - is now an international celebrity with deadly problems of his own. He meets his sister Chi, who invites him on a trek that could save many lives - including his. Chi - adopted into a torturous household - escapes to become a loner with a special gift. She knows her uniqueness but is unaware of a purpose for it. When the blackouts hit New York, the well-supplied survivalist is informed that a lost family waits. Sir - a xenophobic general who stumbles upon an extraordinary uncontacted tribe during a deployment - is on a murderous mission. To track down and destroy any such anomalies within the human family he enlists his son; a special op's solider, in his private and unsanctioned war. The chase attracts a menacing band of others also in pursuit of the elusive clan. Daku Crow - the family patriarch from an ancient people with a message: that every man possesses this gifted but dormant gene inside them, as well as a purpose for it. Thought murdered by many, he waits to hand down a heritage. Against the backdrop of cyber-attacks, destructive winds, and deadly agendas they move across a troubled country. In uncovering the wondrous gene within all men called ?O?, they find they are unwitting anti-heroes with a countdown taking place. They attract a colorful cast of others, adding to the drama and danger. The siblings develop their dormant survival skills along the way; pursuing their purpose even as they are pursued.
