Story Summary

When the alien Sliders invaded, our armies held their own. But the virus they brought with them is now decimating our city. We must now put our trust in the hands of sixteen-year-old Logan and her trusty robot, Sprocket, to make it to Boulder city and back with lifesaving vaccine. Unfortunately Logan's skiff is prone to breakdowns and the Sliders watch our every move.
