2) Bryon Seales story - the inventor of Dimensional travel engine who finds out 1) he's not in control of his life 2) Meridan & Kadakawa Corporations want his invention for nefarious means.
3) Kia's story- from the 1st novel, a friend to Kris whom has unknown history w/ her dead parents.
4) Pat's story - a former ACE operative, who is now a cook at an ACE train camp Kris is at. Pat has to work through PTSD, to assist her after the camp is attacked.
