Shafer McCartney needs a break.
 
The media exposure for his heroics during Mission Omega has proved exhausting and intrusive. He longs to get away.
 
Thankfully, escape is on the horizon: a week-long cruise with his girlfriend, May, and her parents to a tropical paradise.
 
But something’s not right. At first, it seems like accidents are following Shafer everywhere he goes, but soon he begins to see that there’s more to it than just bad luck.
 
Slowly, Shafer begins to unravel a plot that might do more than ruin his vacation…
 
...It might be deadly.
