Book three of the Wasp Chronicles, Wasp on the Wane," picks up where book two left off. The West Sand Command has suffered a devastating defeat. One that has dropped Chris (Det Arjú) into the clutches of the Brigade. She is important because she carries with her a mysterious ancient pendant that is rumored to be powerful enough to defeat the Brigade. That, however, is not the worst of it, for while Chris struggled to free herself, the pendant became lost. But perhaps there is still hope..! Chris's one-time best friend, Bruce, now a Brigader lieutenant in his own right, has watched all from the fringe. But will he be able to help? Or will this be the death of the Tader's mission to take back power from the Brigaders in this post-apocalyptic future world? Richly imagined, beautifully characterized, and deeply engaging, Wasp on the Wane will leave you clamoring for the upcoming fourth book in the Wasp Chronicle series.
