I too had the notion that there had been another Andrea Cort story,
but I asked Adam, and he said, no, "Unseen Demons" was the only one
prior to EMISSARIES.
The universe is the same as the "Tangled Strings of the Marionettes"
universe, so maybe that's a source of confusion.
I think this may be Adam's first novel that isn't a media tie-in, but
he has had more than one (as I recall) media tie-in novels.
