Athena Inc., the blackest of black ops, has come up with the perfect operative. She can’t be caught. And even if she could be, there is no way to link her to any action because she doesn’t even know she’s an agent. She was hailed as a success…that was until the genetic trigger that enables her to switch personas began to break down. Now she can switch forms more or less on her own. And now she’s a threat to the security of Athena Inc. and must be dealt with. But who will deal with whom first?

What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before.

Because there is nothing ordinary about Adam, or the monsters that come when he calls.
