Dr. Angel Stuart is a young veterinarian with a research specialty in Zoonoses, diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Born in Russia, and adopted by a couple from Atlanta, she speaks Russian and English because her parents thought she should learn her native tongue. She loves ballet and life is great … until she gets an interesting invitation from the President of the United States. When information about the location of an old Soviet-era bio-warfare dump full of anthrax spores is uncovered, the US and British governments want it checked for leakage or tampering. But the dump is no longer part of Russia, but in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet territory north of Afghanistan. They need an expert to investigate and find a way to secure the site before it leaks or is tampered with by Al Qaeda or the Taliban, either of which would prove disastrous to the region and possibly the world. Asked to be that expert, Angel goes to Moscow on a research grant to discover what she can and find a way to get to the burial site to check it out.

Titan. Sixth moon of Saturn. A gleaming jewel of natural resources, ripe for harvesting by the first private space company to stake a claim. Diamond Aerospace launches a ship with an experimental engine that will get a crew to Titan in five months. Their mission is to lay the groundwork for a permanent orbital research station, one that will be the future base of operations for activity on that distant moon. Shortly after launch, a devastating malfunction forces the crew to make a choice: continue to Titan, or go back home. As the truth about their mission unravels, one thing is clear: someone on Earth knew about the system flaw and covered it up. Between the critical situation in space and the corporate politics on Earth, humanity's first voyage beyond Mars quickly turns into a relentless struggle for survival. Yet surviving the journey isn't the crew's only concern. Even if they make it to Titan, they will face another problem. Something is already there.
