2176 series
Book 2
Day of Fire by Kathleen Nance
Day Daniels, a Mounty, lives in Canada. But for over a century it's been closed off, quarantined. Now, in 2176, its people thrive. The country still needs peacekeepers, though-and the Mounties are there. Be It All. Do It All. Those are the high-tech police force's twin mottos. They're Day Daniels's mottos, too.
Someone or something called the Shadow Voice is broadcasting treason, and Day's determined to stamp it out. When her partner is murdered she is determined to discover who did it and put them away for life. Seeking a source with information, Day enters the techbar, Flash Point. There she meets Lian, a civilian bartender. Quickly she discovers that Lian Firebird is neither of those things but an enigmatic government operative and shaman. He is trying to discover the source of a new strain of small pox and becomes her partner. He offers-no, insists-upon joining her trek to the legendary Citadel.
But she needs Lian to gain access to the UCE territory to discover the true source of the threat and save the world in the process.
Interesting book. I liked the futuristic aspects of it and am curious to read some of the others in the series.
Book 1 - Legend of Banzai Maguire by Susan Grant
Legend of Banzai Maguire by Susan Grant
We start in 2006 as U.S. Air Force fighter Bree "Bonzai" Maguire is preparing for a routine patrol between North and South Korea. She feels a shiver of apprehension and soon finds her foreboding to be well founded when she and her wingman, Cam, are trapped by a mad scientist and frozen alive—until treasure hunter Ty Armstrong rescues her 170 years later. Bree awakens to a new era in human history, one enhanced by advanced technologies but bereft of freedom. Almost immediately, Bree is stolen from Ty by the prince of the Kingdom of Asia, Kyber, who offers her innumerable luxuries. Bree knows, however, that she's little more than a treasured pet to him. Desperate to find her wingman, Bree turns to Ty, but she soon learns that he's as helpless as she and that his country, formerly the U.S. but now the bloated and unstable United Colonies of Earth, is even worse than Kyber's benevolent dictatorship.
Both are told to watch the shadows and sure enough when the mysterious Shadow voice takes over all communications Ty and Bree use the opportunity to escape to find out who and what the shadow voice is all about. Unfortunately we don't learn too much about that part as there are 4 more books in the series.
