Summary
What would you do if your father was the man responsible for the end of civilization?

Book two of the New Agenda series continues following Ava's journey as searches inside the mainframe to find Chief Morray. For certain, society was disintegrating: humans were self-destructive and wildly uncontrolled.

But young William Morray had hoped, as an idealistic teenager, that his father’s acclaimed Repatterning Program—a precursor to the brilliant New Agenda—could manage the upheaval and get society back on track. They said it was for the greater good: out of chaos comes order and from the ashes the phoenix will rise. They said the Repatterning was a positive event, but like most advertising, it was a lie.

William’s wish had always been to work with his father and win his approval. However, when he is sent away to a remote underground safety shelter in Denver, William is awakened to the grisly truth that the Repatterning is a mass genocide. And worse: his father, the New Agenda leader, is the spearhead of this horrifying plan to eradicate all cities, homes and people outside of the Elite citizenship. William decides to team up with an underground rebel alliance to end the Repatterning and save what’s left of civilization. (From the publisher.)

This is the second book in The New Agenda Series. The first is The City Center (2013). Mainframe, the third, is due out in 2015.
