"Inner Fears" pits the most promising, dangerous technologies-nanotechnology and genetics-against Native American legend and mysticism. When Jeff's ex-lover turns up with an impossible pregnancy, it's a prelude to a series of events that thrusts them on an adventure through the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. The murder of a colleague, being hunted by armed men, and the haunting of a resurrected Indian spirit lead Jeff and Elly to TransGenesis' ruthless leader and his genetically engineered Cybers. To survive, Jeffrey must learn to control the fears of his past, his feelings for Eleanor, and the demon growing within her womb.
