I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leving an honest review.
The story begins with a family of 4; uncle, father and 2 daughters trying to cross the Rio Grande to get in the U.S. The uncle and oldest daughter go first while the other two wait. Unfortunately, the uncle and Augustina, called Gus, are captured by the Border Patrol with the uncle and Gus being separated. Gus winds up in foster care in Philidelphia. The story is then followed by Max and others pretending to sell a 747 with the intent of capturing a wanted individual known as "the Whale" Max has brought the plane to Peru and is showing the buyer the inside of the plane. Max learns that there is a body double onboard and Max then creates an opportunity to capture the individual wanted and transport him back to the U.S.
Gus meanwhile is doing all sorts of things to get money and her latest attempt to steal from a store results with her arrest. She is released and decides with help from another boy from Peru to run away to try and locate her family. Gus later finds out that her friend has been responsible for killing ICE agents and is being hunted. She later learns that this person wants to assist "the Whale' with escaping so he can sell drugs. Gus has an ulterior motive for "the Whale".
Max is now working as a private contractor for NASA regarding several moon missions. He is responsible for building a moon lander and has built a model for demonstrations at upcoming meetings. In one meeting the unit's AI feature has made observations of the individuals in the meeting and has tested each one with information. The AI also discovered something else that wasn't mentioned but plays a major role in the story.
Max and Gus will meet regarding the revelation of an item that Gus is carrying. Max only becomes aware of it as a result of "The Whale's" attempted escape and Gus's capture. At the same time that the escape was going on, Max's Lander was taken and not recovered.
To discover how Max was able to locate his Lander, what Gus had that was so important and how the name "Cradle was involved, then you need to read this book. It is well worth your time!
