With the Flight splintering, Kestrel is once again caught in the middle. Her conscience pushes her after Condor, while her heart is not ready to give Hawk up. Kestrel is forced to choose.

Terminal Architecture
In Terminal Architecture, Martin Pawley argues that nearly all modern architecture is misconceived. To embrace a genuinely innovative architectural future would entail a radical shift in values and Pawley considers new vocabularies to achieve this aim. The vision described in Terminal Architecture is an apocalyptic one, spelling the end of architecture and the city as we know them, and cannot fail to stimulate debate. "Brilliant and beautifully written" Jonathan Glancey, The Architects' Journal"

Final Stand
"There's an old saying: "United we stand; divided we fall."" "We should have listened." "All we wanted was to be free, to be safe." "To survive." Still reeling from the loss of two Flight members, and the unexpected arrival of two more, the Flight works hard to rebuild. However, the promise of divine answers lures Condor back to the Angelists and their spiritual quest. Kestrel accompanies him, fearing the Reverend's plans are less than godly. But even she can't predict what the Reverend has in store. Meanwhile, back at the Flight's refortified sanctuary, Hawk and the others are shocked when a new group of Icari makes contact. "The Flock" seems like the real deal - but how did they know where to find the Flight? Where did they come from? And is their arrival a promise ... or a threat? The Flight doesn't know it, but both the Angelists and the Evolutionary Corporation are poised to destroy everything it has fought for. With no way to escape and nowhere to fly, the Flight will be forced to make its final stand.
