Faith and Rico have escaped the crash but peril is lurking. Stuck in the mountains with no weapons but themselves, the bears aren't their sole obstacle. It's the pod people or podders, as Faith likes to call them. Soulless human creatures that have reverted back to their animal instincts to survive. Getting their real souls back and exposing Azuna's takeover plans may have to be put on hold as Faith combats the elements and herself. Both pose enough of a threat to keep her from her ultimate goal. She's changing, and not for the better. More powerful than ever, but that's not a good thing. Or is it? For the rest of the world, accepting a Niner influx is drastic but what choice do they have? The day Chancellor Stevens gave Azuna and Demas the keys to the Cadillac was the beginning of the end. Add the on-going threat of a diabolical Niner invention known as the Pro-Em, and the only possible result will be tragic. In this sequel to NINE by D.M. King, Faith's choices seem clear, but there's more to lose now than ever. It's no longer just about regaining the best part of who she is. It's about saving humanity without losing any more people she loves. Living minus her soul is one thing. Living without the truth is another.
