(4) YA False Memory series. Miranda (brought back from the dead) and her friends try to save Earth from the apocalypse, a mission complicated by the discovery that their enemies are their far-future selves. A tense, twisty plot of double-crosses, clones, and time-space paradoxes unfortunately sputters to periodic halts for convoluted info-dumps. Engaging themes of predestination, sacrifice, and which worlds are worth saving round out this trilogy-closer.
