A Tracing in the Soul

In another life, Tessa Graham was a hotshot cyber security geek. The most dangerous thing she tackled in a day was a wayward computer virus. Losing everything puts her life on a different trajectory, one that leads first to love, and then to devastating loss when her soul is stolen and used to target a high-tech nanocyte plague designed to wipe out the human race.

Accidentally given an android body, Tessa vows that she will stop humanity's worst enemy and make it possible for humankind to return to Earth. With the help of Sirius Komisara - an alien prince with secrets of his own - she sets out to find and terminate the last remnant of the hive - an artificial lifeform developed from the murderous nanocytes used to destroy three-fourths of the Earth's population. Falling in love again is not a part of the plan.

But the hive has evolved into HiveZ - a sentient creature with goals of their own. And first on their list is the annihilation of Tessa Graham. As she sets out to hunt down humanity's worst enemy, and eliminate the threat they represent, she gets help from an unexpected quarter, but betrayal waits in the shadows. Will she discover the truth in time?

Fans of Ursula LeGuin, Iain Banks, and John Scalzi will enjoy will enjoy the second book in the Hive Trilogy, a heartstopping tale of betrayal and danger.
