When Janey Sinclair vowed to use her teleportation ability to protect the city of Atlanta in the guise of the armored vigilante known as the Gray Widow, she only wanted to spare others the kind of agony she'd long endured herself. But now Janey and an unlikely group of allies - allies that include the man she's come to love, as well as a best friend she never expected to gain - have become part of something much, much larger. Something that literally spans the globe. And reaches beyond it. The forces behind Janey's "augmentation" have arrived on Earth, revealing their grand plan to use human DNA as raw material in a vast intergalactic war. If the planet is to survive, Janey Sinclair must unite friends and foes alike...and take the entire human species in a shocking new direction.
