Jennifer goes back to Undertown after learning of the return of Talon, the man responsible for the murder of her family. Her need for revenge ultimately leads to her death. However, the Wallachian government is also looking to eliminate Talon and take over the drugmarket. It is producing Drac, which makes userspowerful and almost indestructible, but it comes with a price. It is highly addictive and makes anyone who takes it crave human blood. In a sense, it turns them into vampires. The plot is driven by one capture scene after another with the teammates using their training and wits to escape. It is fast paced though the characters are not fully realized. This third installment can be read on its own, but some of the relationships are a little hard to follow without knowledge of at least one of the other missions.–Kim Carlson, Monticello High School, IA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
