Chapter 1

Akemi and Claire have never met in the flesh, but both are victims of an alien’s obsession.

Akemi survived her ordeal but only as a hybrid bio-computer. And Claire survived hers as well. She escaped the zoo were she’d been captive. After three years.

Her nightmare was over.

But a lone human far from Earth has few options. And the one man who might help Claire evade her masochistic owner believes her to be a fake – an alien who’s taken human form.

Don’t miss the latest installment of the Alien Cadet series, a far-flung space opera that explores the boundaries of isolation, fear, and redemption.
