Concentric Circles is a gen AU Man from UNCLE novel in "The Evolution Series." It is the sequel to The Dragon Swallows Its Tail.

Summary from the publisher:

"'Concentric Circles' travel out from their point of origin perfect, separate, never touching. Within a circle friends do sometimes touch. And sometimes they are touched...
