The Transcendental Spy begins four years after the previous novel, The Daughter of the Lightning Brain, ends. Erika Kincaid is celebrating Terri Tarrant's college graduation at a
party hosted by her parents in New York, but she is also celebrating the singular gift she received four years earlier: Electra, her Cyberspace-based mother and guardian.
Erika graduated from high school a year earlier and has lived with Terri ever since while taking courses at a junior college. But at the party, when Terri announces how she will
start her career, she shares a surprise only with Erika-she needs Erika's writing skills. Erika pounces on the offer, becoming Terri's secret ghostwriter.
So, please join the pair as Terri's job at the New York Times takes them on assignments at domestic and international venues that expand their professional and personal worlds.
