Calico (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798350761030)

Marc came to the desert to disappear.

A drifter with a life he'd rather forget, he finds quiet comfort in the small town of Calico-its diner, its stubborn motel owner, and the strange voice in his head he's learned to live with. For the first time in years, life feels almost normal.

Until the lights appear over the dunes.

Until people begin to vanish.

Until the invasion begins.

When Calico is attacked and its residents are taken and transformed into violent machines, Marc is captured too-rebuilt into something powerful, dangerous, and not entirely human. But the invaders make one mistake: they failed to control him.

Alone aboard an alien ship, hunted through dark corridors and unfamiliar machinery, Marc must learn how to use the abilities forced into his body while the voice in his head pushes him toward truths he isn't ready to face.

To save Calico-and whatever remains of himself-he'll have to fight through the nightmare he was never meant to survive.

A brutal, fast-paced sci-fi thriller about identity, transformation, and the cost of holding onto your humanity.
