A mind-blowing science fiction thriller from an award-winning Star Trek and Doctor Who author. The bigger the bug, the bigger the gun! Exterminators Pass Candle and Nona Stiletto keep space safe for humanity by mowing down hostile alien lifeforms. Cyborg implants and badass attitudes make these warriors unstoppable, but a distress call lands them in the battle of a lifetime on a postapocalyptic alien world. Stalked by hordes of unimaginably savage creatures, Pass and Nona fight a war for survival against impossible odds. Their only hope: an abandoned alien child who might be the last of her species left alive, and the only key to a terrible secret that might end the carnage...if she can stay awake long enough to figure it out.
This masterpiece of scifi horror will race you out to the edge of reality, blow your mind, and kick your ass. Don't miss the uncut version of this story, acclaimed as a "Standout selection..." in a Publishers Weekly starred review.
