Klappentext "Michael and the rest of the Electroclan are facing their greatest crisis yet. The resistance movement has been compromised. The safe house has been destroyed. The voice is in hiding, and they have no idea if their families are alive... or dead. What they do know is that the Elgen won't stop until they've destroyed the Electroclan"--Front jacket flap.Michael Vey 5 Admiral-General Hatch’s office Taiwan Starxource plant It was nearly midnight, and Elite Global Guard Welch stood at attention, his back to the door of Admiral-General Hatch’s office. “Sir, we’ve destroyed the terrorists’ home base. The resistance’s ranch has been annihilated.” Hatch nodded but continued reading his book. “What have you done with the prisoners?” “There were no prisoners taken. There were no survivors.” Hatch looked up from his book. “No survivors?” “We killed every last one of them. After our barrage of missiles, we dropped napalm. I’ve reviewed the footage. The compound looked like Dresden after World War II. I can provide the video for you if you wish.” Hatch was quiet for a moment. “No, I’ll take your word for it.” He set down his book, stood, and walked to the side of the room, avoiding eye contact with Welch. “What is the status of the Electroclan? Are they still in Taiwan?” Hatch spoke in a low, threatening voice. Welch stiffened before replying. “They’ve escaped, sir.” “Every one of them?” “Yes, Admiral-General.” “With the Chinese girl?” “Yes, sir. We believe they have Jade Dragon.” Hatch appeared thoughtful for a moment, then said softly, “You failed me.” Welch swallowed. “Yes, sir.” Hatch said nothing, just slowly nodded. Welch looked at him quizzically. He had expected Hatch to rage, to explode. Instead Hatch’s voice was almost mournful, like a jilted lover’s. “Is that all you have to report? That you failed?” Welch did his best to remain stoic. “Yes, sir.” Hatch stared at the ground for a moment, then said, “Okay. You’ve given me your report.” Okay? Welch was as baffled as he was nervous. He wondered if Hatch were drunk. He had never seen him behave so calmly in the face of failure.
