The Mastermind has upped his game...
As Kitty Katt-Martini can tell you, it's not easy being the wife of the Vice President, married to an alien from the Alpha Centauri system, or being a parent of preternaturally talented children. But she and her A-C husband, Jeff, have learned how to roll with whatever life and the bad guys throw at them - they think.
However, the few months of quiet since Kitty & Company got back from Beta Eight are shattered by the arrival of a mysterious female assassin using a crossbow - who might be Jeff's missing niece, Stephanie. And that's just the beginning.
When the Alpha Centauri Planetary Council requests a visit with the President and Vice President of the United States, things look politically dicey. When the most dangerous prisoners in the most secured supermax prison all escape with ease, things look bad. But when the Mastermind releases a virus that starts killing people in a week, things go from bad to Defcon Worse fast.
Now it's up to Kitty to save the lives of everyone important in the U.S. government - including her mother, her husband, and herself - before the virus spreads through the rest of the country, and then to the world. All while dealing with invisible attackers, crazed assassins, a teenager in hiding, the most dangerous train ride ever, the disappearance of her beloved flyboys, and a mysterious alien who could be an enemy or the ally she needs.
But for Kitty, it's not another Operation As Usual. This time, the Mastermind's made it very personal and either he's going down...or Kitty is.
