BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The Mastermind has upped his game . . .

As Kitty can tell you, it’s not easy being the wife of the vice president – especially not when he’s an alien from the Alpha Centauri system. And being a parent of preternaturally talented children, don’t even go there. But she and her A-C husband, Jeff, have learned how to roll with whatever life and the bad guys throw at them – they think.

Kitty & Company have been savouring a few months of quiet since they got back from Beta Eight. But suddenly their peace is shattered by the arrival of a mysterious female assassin – who might be Jeff’s missing niece, Stephanie. And that’s just the beginning of the fun.

When the Alpha Centauri Planetary Council requests a visit with the president and vice president, things look politically dicey. When the most dangerous prisoners in the most secure supermax prison escape with ease, things look bad. But when the Mastermind releases a virus that kills people in a week, things go to Defcon Worse fast.

Now it’s up to Kitty to save everyone important in the U.S. government – including her mother, her husband, and herself – before the virsu spreads through the rest of the country, and then the world. Plus she’s facing invisible attackers, crazed assassins, a teenager in hiding, the most dangerous train ride ever, the disappearance of her beloved flyboys, and a mysterious alien who could be an enemy or the ally she needs.

and this time, the Mastermind’s made it very personal. Either he’s going down . . . or Kitty is.

REVIEW:
Long live Wolverine with Boobs!!! Kitty is back and she is not bothering to take names this time.
I really enjoyed the opening scene with Jamie complaining about Charlie. Cracked me up!! I would have loved to see more of the kid-o’s, but being at war is not the best place for them to be. And super excited that Becky is here!!!!
Each time I pick up one of Ms. Koch’s books I realized what a complicated and involved series this is (meaning you need to start with book one and read in order). I am very thankful that she recaps the characters. At times I feel like I need a cheat sheet to keep track of everyone. 🙂
This was a fun book because as always Kitty does some serious butt kicking and who knew she could drive a motorcycle so well. But sad at the same time because there were too many deaths. And damn it Mastermind got away AGAIN!!! Can’t he just be gone already??
I can’t wait to see what happens next because I am not sure that Earth is ready for the new President and First Lady. Oh and don’t forget the first children!!! Pack your bags Jeff & Kitty your shiny new house is White.
