As Prissi investigates, she meets a man who worked with her mother on some radical meta-mutational research a half-century before. Intrigued, Prissi keeps investigating and before she knows it her good life is gone.

The chase is on. Over the skies of Manhattan, into the bowels of the drowned subway system, across the wasteland of eastern Long Island, the question becomes can Prissi fly fast enough and far enough to elude all the people who are trying to kill her?

Review by: Jackie MacKenzie on May 21, 2012 :
This book was free, but, having read it, I would pay for it. The story is excellent, and despite my initial dislike of the name 'Prissi', it grew on me and I came to like it fine.
It is a page turner with multiple twists and a really great imagining of the future. Some of the lingo is hard to follow, but some of it is especially fantastic -- particularly the use of the term 'winger'.
Some of the plot twists verge on explosive, and though they never quite cause a concussive shockwave, they're well done, and well-thought out.
I stayed up late reading more than one night, so in the end, that's all that matters.
