"Don't trust anyone. And whatever you do, don't drink the water." 13ov4-9 has been training to be a soldier of the Allied Rebel Congregation for as long as she can remember. She would do anything to stop the current three-sided world war over resources, and since the ARC's mission is to restore peace, she's right where she belongs. But after the death of her friend in a training accident and a plane crash that leaves her fighting for her life in a POW camp, she learns of a secret organization that threatens to overturn her world through the spread of a deadly virus-and she may be the only one who can stop it.
