Susan Kearney returns to the universe of The Challenge, this time following the adventures of Dora. In the first book, Dora was the sentient computer who is almost like family to the protagonists. Now, Dora-whose computer mind is that of a capricious teenager, except with access to all of the information ever put onto disk-wants a body. She wants to be human. She wants to experience feelings, not just catalogue them. And she wants to kiss Zical, desperately. She transfers her computer mind into the body that she believes Zical would find attractive-but she's still only sixteen. And now she has to figure out how to work her clumsy human limbs, how to walk without falling over, and how to deal with the strange ache in her chest. It doesn't help that she and Zical are stranded on a strange new planet (and she wasn't sup- posed to have followed him!), and they don't have the use of their psychic powers...
She was shot protecting the President, and woke up naked in the arms of a hunk...A hunk named Kahn, who told Secret Service agent Tessa Camen an outlandish story about travelling through time, saving the world, and a Challenge only she can accept. Kahn offers her proof she can't refute: Tessa has been brought forward through time to save Earth by winning an intergalactic challenge. Kahn only has a few weeks to train Tessa to use the psi-abilities he insists she has. He is confident in the success of a time-honoured method that uses sexual frustration to bring out her powers, but Tessa is dubious. She's a martial arts expert and can fight her way through anything, but she's never had much luck with emotions. luckily for Earth, Kahn can be very convincing...
