Join the boxmates of Liliput in this thrilling conclusion to Cory McCarthy's inclusive B.E.S.T World trilogy as the friends make startling discoveries both about themselves and the near-future world they live in.

When the boxmates' final adventure takes them from the iconic Tower of Power campus and deepscraper Resistance base to the larger-than-life Bixonic's Co. international space station, their augs are put to the test against a global corporate superpower.

Ace, Jayla, Gray, and Leo each face individual decisions that may chart the course of the rest of their lives. Will Ace decide he wants to fly or embrace his emotional genius? Can Leo learn to trust the feelings he can't predict? How will Gray reconcile his identity? Will Jayla use her tech wizardry to save them all?
