This story features two of the series’ secondary characters, Bryan Ferrago and Natasha Mori. It seems the author is world-building by expanding on their backgrounds and adding unexpected depth to them. It seems as if there is a grand plan for this series and each book and short novel provides clues as to what might be coming next.
I loved the humor, and the interplay between these two. There were moments of beauty and true horror and suspense. I also loved the concept of the Internet of Trees.
Highly recommended.

I may never visit Maine again and see it through the same eyes (and I might keep a wary eye over one shoulder when I do), but I loved this novella. I haven't read a Jerome Preisler book yet that I've been able to put down once I've started it. Each time I read one of his stories I am immediately sucked in. I am truly amazed at his talent and his ability to keep the action going a mile-a-minute, pack in a lot of high-tech info, drama, intrigue, interesting facts about so many places near and far. This is a great addition to a great series!

Natasha is a beautiful albino woman with enhanced mental abilities that recognize dangers through changes in color and taste that seem discordant. Her mental abilities were enhanced as a child for Mother Russia’s use in espionage. Placed in the United States after rigorous training she will be invoked when the time is right.
She is currently working with a group of entertainers who run a late-night dance rage in downtown New York City. Her government has decided that she is not necessary and needs to be eliminated rather than their enemies discover her talents. The team sent to kill her leave an acrid taste in her mouth and exhibit dark colors.
Jerome Preisler has developed a very scary scenario in the near future. Recognizing she is in real danger, Natasha leaves New York with her good friend Bryan. They decide to go to a deserted island in Maine to get away from danger. The problem is that the pair sent to find her has enhanced mental capabilities as well.
This tale has a very well-developed plot and will keep you reading from cover to cover. The killers sent to kill her are relentless and totally cold blooded. They set about their tasks like hunters during hunting season.
I read this book in two days and did not want to put it down. The conclusion is frightening and exposes the underbelly of Russia’s espionage services. Recommended!

Enjoyed listening to this book on our last road trip. Preisler does a great job bring to life the two main characters. Looking forward to reading the next book (Threat Point) to see what happens next.
