"An engaging biotech thriller with a compelling plot and a horrifying premise." —Kirkus Reviews

Suffering under the influence of a genetically-created mind-control device, The Vice President of the United States tries to kill technology guru Harrison Randolph at a Senate hearing in Washington, D.C. When the attempt fails, she throws herself head-first off a second-floor balcony. The Secret Service declares Harrison and his wife Shannon—a former Marine— terrorists responsible for her death. But before Harrison can be detained, a mysterious teenage girl creates an escape route for him and together they go on the run.

When the bulletin for their capture goes out, Shannon is in South Florida catching up with a family friend. Unable to contact Harrison, she flees to the Florida Everglades looking for a place to hide, but soon finds herself fighting for her life against an old enemy while battling the same mysterious mind-control device that infested the vice president. It will take all her military training and some of Harrison’s artificial intelligene creations to save them both—while half-way around the world an even more sinister threat emerges.
