Over the course of 51 days in Chicago, an unknown woman appears publicly 11 times, flying at speeds of 120 miles per hour and at heights reaching 2,000 feet. Then she suddenly dies in a fiery explosion mid-air. No one knows who she was, how she flew, or why.

As Luna comes closer to the truth she hopes that cracking the secrets of the Flying Woman's inner life will somehow lead to liberation from her own troubled mind.… (altro)
A high school sophomore with OCD is having a mental health crisis as she fixates obsessively on a woman who has appeared flying seemingly unaided in the airspace around Chicago. She starts her own personal investigation of the matter and -- because plots need guns? -- finds herself caught up in the crossfire between a treasonous scientist, corporate thugs, and the U.S. government over a scientific McGuffin. Mental collapse and metaphysical foofaraw collide with a fairly stock thriller plot that builds inevitably to a big shoot-out.

Well, I'm not particularly interested in the story at this point, but I have the next two volumes on hand, all lined up and ready to go, so . . . sssssuuure . . . why not? ( )
