The fight to eradicate the Tash’Ba breeding stations continues, with spunky Commander Berit Turner and his Nadisc mate, Tom, in the thick of things. Sometimes it seems as though they’ll never locate and destroy them all. And there’s always the fear that the Tash’Ba have something else, something worse—if that’s even possible—lurking ahead.
As if things aren’t bad enough, Berit’s less than stellar past is
threatening to bite him in the ass, and they’ve received alarming new
information. The Tash’Ba Queen needs to use Earth as a place to hatch the egg
of her successor. And if what she says is true, the new Queen will be even more
voracious and cruel than her predecessor.
Berit, along
with his team—Tom, Carson, Niyara, and Fleur—must do everything in their power
to stop her. If they fail, Earth will be lost forever.

Excerpt:
Veering to the left, I
allowed myself a quick glance over my shoulder. Not that I saw any chance of
the elgoth having lost interest in
me, because those fucking beasts never lost interest once they’d set their
sights on prey, but sometimes a new prey might attract them more, which I’d
have welcomed right then.
My lungs burned and my leg
muscles smarted like hell from running like a rabbit through thick brushes and
overgrown ferns. I even zigzagged around. Too bad I couldn’t find a rabbit’s
hole to hide in.
I had no idea where Tom,
Carson, and the rest of the team were, either.
We’d been separated before—it
happened when gigantic Tash’Ba war beasts decided we looked good enough to
eat—but I’ve never liked it. No, scratch that. Every time it happened, it put
the fear of God in me. A gust of warm breath, mingled with some spittle,
sprayed my neck. I squeaked and swerved to the right, vaulting over a stunted
tree trunk. Seconds later, wood splinters sped past my head, and I lost my
footing on the vibrating ground.
I sprawled facedown in the
mud, panic sending bolts of confusing messages through my body. Maybe… maybe if
I kept completely still, the elgoth wouldn’t touch me? The first time I’d made
the acquaintance of one of these towering forty-foot-tall creatures, Tom had
instructed me not to move, because they wouldn’t be able to locate us.
It had worked on Ligador and
a couple of other breeding stations, but last time a team member tried this
approach, the elgoth had roared and ripped him apart. All Tash’Ba war beasts
seemed to be altering their tactics, making them even more unpredictable than
before.
The mud around me sloshed,
almost causing me to inhale some of it. I suppressed the urge to cough and kept
my mouth shut as tight as I’d ever done, even though a whimper threatened to
spill over my lips any second.
Another gust of foul breath
struck my neck. My hair stood on end, my muscles locked in some kind of rigid
stupor. That was it. I’d end my life as a morsel for an elgoth.
A blast echoed from the
south, and the beast’s breath vanished from my neck. Gunfire followed the
blast, and voices filtered through my terrified haze. They’d run right into the
elgoth if I didn’t warn them. But… if I moved, or raised my voice, the elgoth
would bite my head off. Literally.
