  Summary

  VANCOUVER, CANADA, 1939

  Millennia. Millennia since Shockwave last saw his face after his incident with the Dinobots. Millions of years since he last saw ‘his’ face.

  He’s a Chinaman, colored yet ‘White’, suspect yet above murder; the perfect disguise to harvest biofuel from humans and someday resurrect his frame. But his pregnant victim rattles the neighborhood harder than he planned. He’s low on Energon. If he harvests another in this community, police would care. What he thought perfect, collapses.

  Until he meets Henrik Andersen, officer assigned to capture the man who’s left thousands bloodless and organless, the biofuel Shockwave needs.
