About this ebook
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.

One Awake In All The World
Pass Candle could not see the creatures, except as winking blips of light on the flash-brain screen mounted in the flesh of his left arm. He didn’t need to look at the screen, however, to know that the creatures were all around him and his partner, Nona Stiletto.
He could feel their presence. Could feel their eyes upon him, staring from the shadows of the darkened and fog-shrouded city.
More than that, he swore he could feel their malevolence. Their savagery.
He stiffened his right arm as he swept it from side to side, covering an arc of the gray fog with the snout of the warflower dark energy gun peeping from under the skin behind his wrist.
