Death is her milieu… Harvard PhD student Aleksi Rychenkna lives for ages past. She loves the peace of solitary study, peace from people, from questions, from human interaction. Now she has a new advisor, a new project, and a fascinating new mystery to explore. When she discovers a preserved specimen that defies identification and contains human DNA, the lure of the unknown is irresistible. But this mystery runs deeper than Aleksi bargains for. Not only are there more, and more powerful, people interested in her work than she ever expected, but after an accidental exposure to the specimen’s strange DNA, she finds herself…changing. Aleksi begins to have bizarre dreams, nightmares of blood filled with violent images and urges. Her reflexes and instincts sharpen, and she is suddenly stronger and faster than she should be. But what happens when she realizes her dreams are something far more? Because they’re not dreams at all. They’re memories.
Author
From the sea to the stars, Chris A. Jackson’s stories take you to the far reaches of the imagination. Raised on the back deck of a fishing boat and trained as a marine biologist, he became sidetracked by a career in biomedical research, but regained his heart and soul in 2009 when he and his wife Anne left the dock aboard the 45-foot sailboat Mr Mac to cruise the Caribbean and write fulltime. With his nautical background, writing sea stories seemed inevitable for Chris. His acclaimed Scimitar Seas nautical fantasies won three consecutive Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards. His Pathfinders Tales from Paizo Publishing combine high-seas combat and romance set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Not to be outdone, Privateer Press released Blood & Iron, a swashbuckling novella set in the Iron Kingdoms. Chris’ repertoire also includes the award-winning and Kindle best-selling Weapon of Flesh Series, the contemporary urban fantasy Dragon Dreams, as well as additional fantasy novels, the humorous sci fi Cheese Runners trilogy of novellas, and numerous short stories.
