Rare Species D S Campagna

Rare Species, Book 3 is the grand finale of the science fiction adventure set in the tilted world series. The three antagonists are driven to achieve their roles of dominance and survival. Shiva, the evolving cyborg is ready to complete his plan to submerge the earth and introduce a rare species of humanoid to replace its original inhabitants. Gustav Reddy and the CEOs of the ten space stations of High Wire have tried to empty the planet of its natural resources before departing for the far reaches of outer space. All that remains to stop these single minded pariahs of humankind are the Highwaymen, a small band of dedicated fighters striving to save the earth from ruin. Highwayman Dante Allegro has issued a twenty-four ultimatum to Shiva and High Wire: "Leave earth immediately or perish." It is a bold gambler's bluff that takes the Highwaymen to fateful confrontations in the fortress of Masada, the Pyramid of Digital Babel in Turkey, and the space station All Things Mine. Book 3 brings all of the tension and ferocity of three groups determined to succeed. Rare Species takes the reader through a gradually ascending whirlwind ride from an ultimatum to the destinies of three remarkable sets of characters. It is takes place in 2040 during a period of great technological promise for extended lives, space travel, and advanced cybernetics. The central themes of this engaging trilogy include cooperation over exploitation and the Highwayman's Code of the Open Road: Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome.
