Silence Ends (Double Helix Case Files Book 3)

2nd Place, Young Adult, Royal Palm Literary Award 2013

When you choose your friends, you also choose your enemies.

Seventeen-year-old Dee wants nothing more than to help her twin brother, Dum, break free from the trauma in their childhood and speak again, but the only person who can help Dum is the alpha empath, Danyael Sabre, whom the U.S. government considers a terrorist and traitor.

The search for Danyael will lead Dee and Dum from the sheltered protection of the Mutant Affairs Council and into the violent, gang-controlled heart of Anacostia. Ensnared by Danyael’s complicated network of friends and enemies, Dee makes her stand in a political and social war that she is ill equipped to fight. What can one human, armed only with her wits and pepper spray, do against the super-powered mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution?

In her quest to help her brother become normal, Dee will learn what it means to be extraordinary.

Interview with the Author

Q - So, what makes the Double Helix series special?

A - The Double Helix is a series premised upon the creation of the "perfect" human being, Galahad, but it is ultimately about his less-than-perfect physical template, Danyael Sabre, and the power, strength, and beauty found in humanity's imperfections. Ultimately, what makes the Double Helix series special are its characters. You will fall in love with them.

The series offers readers a great mix of science fiction, urban fantasy, and action-adventure genres. It is also grounded in science. Fiction is a great deal closer to reality than most people realize, and the societal pressures and dilemmas faced by Danyael and Galahad are imminent.

The fast-paced action will have you turning pages, while the plot layers on complexity after complexity, offering you an unlikely romance you will root for and a happy ending you can believe in.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - The four books of the Double Helix series should be read in order for maximum enjoyment and a deep down, gut-felt happy ending. The other novels are standalone, but fit into the timeline as follows:
- Miriya
- Perfection Unleashed (Double Helix #1)
- Perfect Betrayal (Double Helix #2)
- Zara
- Perfect Weapon (Double Helix #3)
- When the Silence Ends
- Perfection Challenged (Double Helix #4)
- Xin

Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?

A - Because the Double Helix series is the perfect mixture of non-stop action, gripping plot, thought-provoking philosophy, and beautiful visuals that fans of science fiction, urban fantasy, and superhero novels will love. The five novels in the series have won a total of eight literary awards in science fiction, including Gold Medal, 2013 Readers Favorites.

Robin Lynn, an Amazon reviewer, describes it as "Truly enjoyable and delectable in its subtlety. The action is jackhammer fierce while the mental machinations slowly weave their way through your psyche. Potent and spellbinding. Wow."
