From the author of the Seven Deadly Sins series and Hacking Harvard comes the final book in the science fiction trilogy Scott Westerfeld calls spellbinding.One year ago, Lia Kahn died. A few days later, she woke up. She had a new body: Mechanical, unfeeling, inhuman. She had a new family: Mechs like her, who didnt judge her for what she could no longer be.

Its Vegas, baby! Anything can happen. Reed has a (small) chance to win fame and fortune, thanks to his "entourage," Beth. Sick of feeling like a loser, Harpers betting she can win back her life, starting with Miranda -- whose birthday wish just might come true.... Adams also getting lucky, with a certain ex-girlfriend. Kane, as usual, is playing hard -- and not very nice. Win or lose, its going to be wild.

One of the seven is dead, and everyones reeling: Adams done. With love, with school...with everything. Done. Beths doing her best to act "normal," but even Reed recognizes devastation, since all he does is fantasize about Kaia. Mirandas lost too. Did she ever really forgive Harper?

Its the ultimate challenge: breaking into the Ivy League. The hack: To get one deadbeat, fully unqualified slacker into the most prestigious school in the country.

Lexi -- the beauty-queen valedictorian who insists on getting in the game. The plan: Use only the most undetectable schemes and techno-brilliant skills. Dont break the Hackers Code. Dont get distracted. Dont get caught. Take down someone who deserves it. The stakes: A lot higher than they think. Theyve got the players, the plot, and soon -- the prize. Its go time.
