Book excerpt: Thanks to the technology of a face-changing choker, Taren and the kids have finally found a home on the remote planet of Hatzee. They are settling into a “normal” life and have managed to stay hidden in plain sight. But when Jael sends Taren a distress call, Queen Miyako discovers his hiding place—and then all hell breaks loose. When Ezie and Zabbaam learn of a secret community of people who were altered in an attempt to replicate Project Chameleon, Ezie realizes she may be the cyborgs’ only salvation. She desperately wants to help, but she’s worried Iskar’s research could fall into the wrong hands. Jael and her cousin are investigating the drug trafficking organization responsible for killing her mother and injuring her uncle. When her cousin is captured, Jael knows the only person she can call on for help: Taren Platinum. Sparks fly as their investigation takes off, but the closer they get to the drug kingpin, the closer Queen Miyako gets to capturing Taren. Will Taren manage to escape Miyako once and for all, or will the queen finally get her revenge?
