Summary:

When we first meet Kit, she's a fox. Nineteen-year-old Kit works for the research department of Shen Corporation as a phenomenaut. For seven years, longer than anyone else at ShenCorp, and longer than any of the scientists thought possible, she's been "jumping" - projecting her consciousness through a neuro-logical interface - into the bodies of lab-grown animals made for the purpose of research. She experiences a multitude of other lives - fighting and fleeing as predator and prey, as mammal, bird, and reptile - in the hope that her work will help humans better understand the other species living alongside them. Her closest friend is Buckley, her neuro - the computer engineer who guides a phenomenaut through consciousness projection. His is the voice, therefore, that's always in Kit's head and is the thread of continuity that connects her to the human world when she's an animal. But when ShenCorp's mission takes a more commercial - and ominous - turn, Kit is no longer sure of her safety.
