YAHunchback Assignments series.
Shape-shifting Modo's second mission has him feigning a marriage to fellow agent Octavia. After a maritime mishap, he's first rescued by--then stuck aboard--a submarine operating as a (purportedly) egalitarian community. Modo must decide whom to trust with state secrets and with his deformities. The story line will keep readers guessing while the characters keep them emotionally engaged.
