So when she thoughtlessly hacks into the Department of Defense’s database, she lands in serious hot water inside and outside the law.

It looks like the victim of a zombie apocalypse, the "camp director" is a psycho drill sergeant, and Henry's sure he saw a sign written in blood...

Instead of choosing the good guy, I chose the bad guy. Instead of warding off the enemy, I moved in with him. And I thought the purpose of fear was to prevent you from doing stupid things.

Unfortunately, everything else is far from normal. An evil business empire is trying to manufacture and sell anti-fear drugs to U.S. Army soldiers. Gaia wants to call in the CIA, but it's risky: It means playing by a whole new set of rules.

Gaia is ecstatic - and terrified. Now that she can feel fear and all the conflicting reactions that emotion provokes, Gaia can't sit still. And just when she is about to settle into her new life, she discovers her past is looking for her.
