Teenage engineering genius Tori Beaugrand changes her name to Niki and moves to a different city to conceal her secret unusual DNA; she'll need the help of both old and new friends to escape the alien scientists who kidnapped her in Ultraviolet. The deft exploration of sexuality and race add depth to this science-fiction thriller, giving it substantial cross-genre appeal.
