Now the four must use all their skills to ferret out anyone who is sent to dispose of them and to turn the tables on their would-be killers. When they discover that someone else from that organization is with them on the ship and is traveling clandestinely in disguise, they begin to suspect that the Museum has decided to retire them permanently.
