This book is the perfect introduction to Sector One—and Gideon's Riders in particular. Ashwin's mission to infiltrate the Riders is the perfect opportunity to sweep the readers along on a journey of initiation, and rites of passage, and the first experiences unique to Sector One. Readers new and old will adore Ashwin and savor his dance with Kora and the Riders.

Beyond Ecstasy brings readers one step closer to the inevitable war that is coming: the war charging right toward the sectors, to Eden, to every soul who has suffered through the endless blackouts and rising tensions. Hawk has been circling Jeni for a while, and she really never knew—at least not the level of intensity he craved her with.
