    About this ebook

    The alien was deadly, dangerous and inhuman—but he was not the most feared enemy on the ship!
    Lesbee recognized that his plan to take control of the ship had been discovered. But what other options did he have? What else could he do? And then, of course, there were the aliens that they all had to deal with.
