Ex-HOPE Activist and future dictator of the world, Rob Stone, is now a twenty-two year old college student at the ultra-high tech Conner University. Studying to be a corporate stooge in hopes of reforming Butterfly International from the inside, Rob has made some sociopathic friends as well as put most of his trauma behind him. All of that comes back when HOPE seemingly bombs his college to assassinate a bunch of future corporate fascists.
Implicated in the bombings, Rob finds history has been changed and new time travelers are continuing to play havoc with reality. His pacifist plans ruined, Rob has to decide to embrace his punk roots and fight fire with fire to save tomorrow.

A sequel that leaves the first in the past!
In a lot of ways I found this to be a better book than the first one, which surprised me, because I really enjoyed the first book and thought it to be an underrated gem.
First, the plot. And a disclaimer; definitely read book one before going on to this one. It actually explains a lot of the last one's plot, but the nuances aren't there.
Anyway, Rob has matured in a lot of ways, and is now in training to one day take over the Butterfly corporation and turn it towards a less dystopian fate. His "friend" Jane hasn't been seen since not long after the events of the first book, and his life is fairly mundane.
The only problem is that HOPE, the formerly peaceful group dedicated to changing the fascist policies of Collin Reilly and Butterfly has now started a series of more violent and militant actions in order to accomplish their goals.
I won't spoil more, but this one really did surpass the awesomeness that was Predestiny. The characters weren't all black and white, but had depths of nuance that left some interesting moral quandries that I'm still trying to figure out now.
This is especially true of Rob himself. Instead of being a badass always doing what's right, Rob is still immature in many ways, and he's trying to do his best in circumstances that are anything but clear.
The action was excellent, the story was super engaging and had me hooked and I never would have predicted the ending in a million years.
In short, this was a sequel that managed to soar above the lofty heights set by the first book.
I definitely recommend this one!
