A collection of the first three titles in The Phoenix Project Series. Books included: 1. The Phoenix Project 2. The Reformation 3. Revelation THE PHOENIX PROJECT Andie Somers has finally found a perfectly balanced life. After leaving her high pressure position in a genetic research lab, she's now found solace in nursing. Too bad the balance doesn't last long. One night Andie's life is thrown off kilter when a suspected seismic event occurs. Now, Andie is going home to find her family, even if that means escaping a hospital on lockdown and abandoning some of the city's most critical patients. She may never work as a nurse again but she doesn't dwell on that thought for long when she can't reach her husband and daughter. There is one thing on her mind and that is to get home. Fleeing a city that's been thrust into chaos isn't easy, and since it seems most things electronic no longer work, including every vehicle around her, Andie makes the decision to walk the forty miles north to her home. She meets Adam on the highway. Running into a Phoenix local wasn't in her plan, but two heads are better than one and with the havoc surrounding them, what better partner to have at her side than one with a military background? If only she had forewarning to the secrets Adam harbors. Andie's life is about to change forever. She thought making it home was the hard part, but getting there is just the beginning. THE REFORMATION Trying to escape from the Phoenix District got Andie two things, a broken arm and a broken spirit. While Andie feels like she might be losing it, she has a bit of hope to hold onto. Everyone else in her family may have been taken away from her or have gone missing, but she has Lina. So she's going to do what Burton Crane ordered her to do and genetically alter the Residents brains so they're the cooperative, docile humans he requested. While analyzing the Residents' genetic data, Andie finds that there's more than one District. And while Andie tries to hold on tight to the few things she has control over, Crane has one last surprise for her. This is the Reformation. Society has been fractured and this is just the beginning of changes to come. REVELATION Plucked from society, the Funding Entities had a plan for Andromeda Somers and Adam Waters. The ones who planned the Reformation were priming them for a greater role. One that Adam will never live to realize. He knew too much and now he's dead, leaving Andie to raise their baby alone. But not all is lost; the Entities want Andie to uphold the principles of the Phoenix District, so they've released Ian to her. The only problem is Andie's not sure what to do with her husband now that she has him, especially since there is a seemingly insurmountable rift in their relationship. They can't talk, they don't touch, and it seems Ian is always sneaking off in the middle of the night. He's definitely not the husband she remembers. But Andie has changed also; she's done things she's not proud of, she altered the human genome for Burton Crane, she had an affair, she even killed a man. Now, Andie struggles with her guilt as she tries to raise the next generation of Sovereign and fulfill her duties as the District Matchmaker. Sam is training to become a Volker, Ian keeps pressing her to go back to the way they were, Catalina is getting older, and Raven has never uttered a sound since his birth. As Andie tries to maintain control and protect her family, one thought lingers and threatens to disrupt everything she's worked so hard to protect: she must return to Crystal River for her last test, and Crane always causes the most havoc when she's away.
