Mission Tethys. Cyborg Squad, #3

The absolutely last thing Clem Collins expects to find in the middle of the desert.is an ocean. After a mostly successful mission-well, if you leave out a brutal death, a kidnapped team member, and an angry superior officer baying for her blood-at the anomaly designated Bravo One in Canada, Clem Collins is on the move again. Her commanding officer has sent her and part of her Cyborg Squad to Foxtrot One, the newest anomaly set deep in the vast, red sands of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana. At first, the mission brief is the same as the two before: check out the anomaly, blow it up and get on to the next one.
But when the central time portal, the orb, starts behaving strangely, well, Clem has to come up with some radical and dangerous new ideas.one of which involves a mouse named Algernon. It ain't the end of the world-yet-but it may well be a preview of coming attractions.
