Parasites

It is with great excitement I am now ready to announce my next full length novel…

Coming September 2026!

Thirty years ago, Xeno invaders descended upon the Earth and waged a war of extermination. Billions died at the hands of the Xeno war machines, as all governments, militaries, and even the biosphere of the earth fell victim to the alien’s advanced technology. Only through the scientific brilliance of Voidguard Pharmaceuticals was humanity able to deploy biological weapons to destroy their invaders. After the war, Xeno technology lies dormant on earth and on mars, and Voidguard will do anything to discover what secrets Xeno left behind. 

When Raymond Hobbes signs up for a top secret program to decode Xeno technology, he is just trying to help his family make rent. His grandmother is aging, and his father suffers from severe PTSD as a result of fighting during the bitter invasion. He would do anything to keep them safe. Besides, how bad could it be? 

QSX is the last from their tank. All the rest of their kind have been pulled screaming from the safety of their home to infest human hosts. None have survived. When QSX is chosen and suspended over the writhing body of Raymond Hobbes, they burrow into the only safe place available. Hobbes’s skull. 

Now the two of them are bound together body and mind, and must overcome the traumatic nature of their joining to decode the Xeno technology left behind after the war. Under pressure from Voidguard agents and Xeno defense systems, QSX and Hobbes must work together if they ever want to be alone in their own head again… 

Parasites is a Science Fiction Horror blending the visceral terror of Alien with the exciting space adventure and unlikely interspecies friendship of Project Hail Mary.
