Back Cover
Twenty-nine year old Lana Baker knows the signs: the intense flashes of light and the building pressure in her head herald yet another migraine. But this time, the unavoidable pain lands her in the hospital, where her unusual past raises more questions than answers. Her medical history is a complete blank. Stranger still, her battery of tests reveals a shocking secret: Lana has a foreign disk embedded in her skull–but she has no idea how it got there. Even more disturbing is the fact that the disk is etched with a mysterious message.
Lieutenant Lance Kipling has been tracking down information on a former marine he believes may have had ties to Cold War biologic weapons. So when that man’s daughter turns up in a hospital with a metal disk in her skull, it does not go unnoticed. But Lance has competition for the information stored in Lana’s head–dangerous individuals with Soviet ties.
Together, Lance and Lana follow a trail of clues her father left, bits of information that reveal Lana’s past and paint a deadly picture of a weapon that has the potential to wreak havoc on the planet’s entire population.

Author’s Notes

This story idea came to me after an x-ray of my banged-up knee showed a mysterious chunk of metal embedded within. The metal turned out to be only a shadow from the angle the x-ray was taken, but the event got me to wondering, what if someone did have a metal disk implanted in them they had no previous knowledge of? Even worse, what if the disk contained information that proved the person’s entire past was basically a lie?
