At the end of Book 4, Hoodwink returned to the Outside and departed in a small vessel, apparently abandoning Tanner and the rest of humanity to their fate.

Now Tanner must fight alone against the threat raged by One, the rampant, seemingly invincible AI.

The User ranks were decimated shortly after Hoodwink vanished ten years ago, and she rebuilt the group from the ground up. In that time, she'd given everything she had to the Users, and human society in general. Body. Mind. Soul. For what?
