Dr. Daphne Blaine has been through a lot in the last few months—surviving a worldwide pandemic that attacks not only humans but all living things on planet Earth, being recruited by NASA and shooting off to the stars alongside her father and young son, and now, flying off to a foreign planet to search for life. In the sequel to A Mare's Nest, Daphne will have to face more than her nightmares could have ever conjured up, all while dealing with her greatest fear that she might not make it back to the mothership, the Hippogriff, where her father and young son await.
