Prime Deceptions: A Novel (Chilling Effect Book 2)

Captain Eva Innocente and the crew of La Sirena Negra, along with their psychic cats, face new challenges in this sequel to Chilling Effect. When Eva's sister requests help finding a missing scientist, Eva accepts the job despite her trust issues, motivated by the promise of payment and a worthy cause. With reluctant help from her estranged mother, Eva and her crew trace the scientist across the universe, traveling through locations including a never-ending convention and a bot-fighting arena. Their search leads them to Garilia, a place Eva hoped never to return to—the site of her most shameful failure. Now Eva must navigate Garilia, a paradise caught in rebellion where forests and beaches conceal psychic creatures and surveillance systems. She must locate the missing scientist while evading the oppressive local government, all while risking exposure of her past misdeeds.
