Reboot - Ernest Bernarducci;Martha I Finney

Anna Simone has placed herself in the crosshairs of a powerful crime family. She witnessed a senseless murder by the family kingpin, and summoning her fighter pilot instincts and reserve, is hell bent on doing the right thing and stand witness for the victim.

FBI agent Bill Alastor is assigned to keep Anna alive before the trial. When the federal safe house set up to hide and protect her is violently breached, Bill realizes that witness protection is no match against the global reach of those who hunt for Anna. As his love for her grows, he realizes that only he can save her. He develops an audacious plan to hide her - a plan striking and conspicuous enough to convince the world she is gone forever. Dead on the bottom of the Adriatic Sea. In order for the plan to work, he must find almost 100 Lost Souls desperate enough to walk away from their own lives. Forever.

They will become the manifest on Flight 168, a flight to virtually nowhere. It will bring them peace. But only for a moment. Evil was a passenger. And evil continues to kill. All over the world.

As the killer's body count grows, Bill and Anna, and their misfit team of Lost Souls come together for one more battle. Bill and Anna confront the question: What is more important? The protection and survival of the trusting Lost Souls? Or the extermination of the evil they released? All will meet in a final, unforgettable battle at the height of a killer storm in a Mexican seaside resort.

Reboot reminds us that our past is always present, and that evil will not stay dormant in the face of good. Reboot revolves around the strength and peace found through community - especially a collective of determined individuals. It reveals that the rewards of human connection, of trust and understanding, far outweigh the risks of isolation.

Reboot is a tale of devotion, loving, courage, belonging, unexpected connections along the way as we travel through life.

We are currently working on books two and three in the series we are calling The Lost Souls Series. Eighty-seven lost souls with eighty-seven stories to tell.
