With the help of the Osbars, Nora and Novella defeat Rafael's evil forces. Because of that accomplishment, they're the first people of color to be hailed as heroes worldwide. But Nora knows it's just a reprieve. It's only a matter of time before he comes back for a second try.
In this second book in the series, Nora uses the break in action to start a foundation called Smooth Sailing, geared toward girls interested in science and robotics. Only a few are chosen for the special project. The foundation helps Nora train these young women to create robots to be used when Rafael returns for revenge. She doesn't know there is a spy in the ranks.
Nora and Novella believe they are well prepared for the confrontation with Rafael. But they realize they need a little help from their alien friends.
