The Choices We Make to Survive Erica has joined an elite strike team focused on eliminating threats that nobody else can handle. She can kill with a pencil, create impenetrable disguises, and extract information from the most tight-lipped terrorist. But none of that is any help when a hostile agent captures her during a covert mission to neutralize a biological weapon. The agent releases her, but only after planting a time bomb in her head. If she doesn't obey the instructions, she will die in the most painful way imaginable. During her desperate search for a solution, Erica discovers a secret so disturbing that even knowing it threatens her life. Soon, the device in her head seems like the least of her problems as she struggles to survive, battling a foe she never thought she'd have to face.
