Two interrelated novellas that dealt with the same attack on the PAVAD lab but focused on different angles and involving different main characters."Reunited" dealt with the re-appereance of Dan Reynold's daughters that were taken from him fifteen yeas ago. At the same time he gets to know Dr. Allison Brewster, who transferred with her lab team to St. Louis. A night full of passion has some unexpected and far reaching consequences for Dan and Ally.Not bad but remained completely shallow. The storyline didn't offer any outstanding moments and simply floated without any climax towards its ending."Reckoning" focused on the creator and supervisor of PAVAD, Ed Dennis,  and Dr. Marianna Glendower, the new forensics supervisor. One of Glendower's sons hacked into the PAVAD's security system and blocked the elevator, which endangered its passengers. Ed's punishment for the young boy has a positive side effect: he gets to know Marianne better and soon they persue a second chance at love in their life.This second novella was more solid. It actually had a suspense plot, although badly and very sketchily elaborated. The romance part was more rewarding but didn't grip me. Maybe it lacked in atmosphere or maybe the interaction between Ed and Marianne lacked tension.Anyway, I liked the idea of second chances and especially the fact that the main characters were of more mature age. But I definitely expected a more complex and elaborate story line for both novellas.
