Toks & the Phoenix Project
Toks has never considered herself as anyone special and her life is pretty ordinary for the most part. The only thing she cares about is moving out from home away her mother’s watchful eye and having a real life outside school. As it is, she has just started graduate school under the tutelage of the eccentric, grumpy but brilliant scientist Professor Johnson as part of his research team which already consists of three other interesting, brilliant students and quickly gets to work creating a ‘miracle’ hair growth formula. However, just when Toks thinks she’s on the verge of a breakthrough with her hair formulation, Professor Johnson rejects her thesis proposal and wants her to catalog the metabolic characteristics of some bacterium instead, which is nothing more than pointless grunt work in Toks’s view. To make matters worse, this new assignment is also the most unpromising research project in his entire group. Professor Johnson has either gone nuts or is onto something. But unknown to her and her fellow students, Professor Johnson is secretly working for the CIA to uncover a mysterious plot involving a dangerous group known as the Shango Triangle who have made it clear to the professor that they want his top secret research project for themselves and will do anything to get it. When the CIA’s plans to capture the master mind of the Shango Triangle go awry and the respected professor is unable to continue, Toks becomes an unwitting star in the conspiracy and it becomes a race against time to discover what the professor was involved with in order to save the lives of her family and friends. As Toks works to uncover the mystery, she finds herself in the middle of a plot that is an intoxicating concoction of espionage and secrecy. The only question now is, will Toks make it through the semester intact or will she be a casualty by association?
