You know, there are some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. This was one of those days. My head hurt. There was blood everywhere.

Ben may be having a rough day of near-death experiences, hot pursuits with interstellar mercenaries, and wormhole travel, but nothing will deter him from finding some genuine starch spheres (space potatoes) for his brother, Everett.

FBI special agent Megan Luchek is still officially on vacation in Las Vegas, but the previous night’s violence has made her aware of the crimes against humanity going on in the tunnels. Before she can investigate too hard, the bad guys get proactive. They kidnap Anthony Pierce, the husband of Megan’s good friend, and warn her to back off. Predictably, she doesn’t react well to the threat.

After encountering the wrong kind of crazy in Vegas and Reno, Megan Luchek goes to Dallas to relax and check out a hotel for her friends. Par for her luck, she gets kidnapped in broad daylight and taken to a madman’s mansion. Worse, she gets locked in a storm shelter. But the bad guy’s not really after her. He simply needs her as bait to draw out the assassin - Cassandra Mirren. Megan and the assassin are going to have to rely upon the Eagle Eyes program one more time if they want to live through the danger in Dallas.
