Other than my name, I am utterly forgettable—so those who never paid much attention to me in the first place haven’t exactly noticed that I’ve disappeared. \u003cem\u003eVanished\u003c\/em\u003e. Oh, it’s much more complicated than it sounds. And let me tell you, \u003cem\u003einvisibility comes with it's own set of problems! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI should tell you about Dr. Samuel Bickel, world-renowned nanophysicist. We used to work together, but I’ll be candid with you: \u003cem\u003eHe’s supposed to be dead\u003c\/em\u003e. Well, he’s \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e. Instead of the proverbial “six feet under,” he’s subsisting in an abandoned devolution cavern beneath the old Manzano Weapons Storage Facility on Kirtland Air Force Base here in Albuquerque. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I need to show you what I’m protecting here, Gemma,” he insisted.

Reminded me of how mercury, when released on a plate, will flow and form new shapes. Only this, this thing was “flowing and forming” in midair. My mouth opened to a stunned “o” as the silver haze resolved into blue letters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eH E L L O \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Bickel hadn’t pressed any buttons. Hadn’t said anything to them. Hadn’t gestured. He grinned. “Ah. They’ve noticed you.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I need to warn you about General Cushing. The rank and name likely conjure images of a lean but muscled old soldier, face cemented in unyielding lines, iron-gray hair cut high and tight. Let me disabuse you of that impression. General Imogene Cushing is short and a tiny bit plump. She wears her beautiful silvered hair in an elegant braid knotted at the nape of her neck, and she knows how to smile sweetly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the deadliest of sharks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50025083109680,"sku":"BDof0o","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/747235-of0o-Square.jpg?v=1754274194","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-of0o","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
