Description
Alien invasion. Evolve or die.
Nothing could prepare Tabitha Jones for the dead infested world she woke up to.
Robbed of her loved ones and altered by the venom of an alien species, she's forced to leave her old life behind and survive the ruins of Earth. Pursued relentlessly by monstrous swarms and desperate survivors, she faces a changing post-apocalyptic world and her own ever-evolving abilities as she searches for the remnants of civilisation.
But as humanity turns on her, and the alien threat hunts their hybrid creation ever more obsessively, Tabitha comes to realise that there's only one side left to fight for. Her own.
Mastering her new electrical nature, she learns to control a living alien weapon - and begins to carve her own path in a violent overgrown world. Where that path will lead her though, not even she can know...

Sample
She didn't make out its shape at first. Only the glow of molten metal gave it away; drooling from its jaws while it fed. It was sprawled out, gripping close to the side of a city tram, like it was making love to it. Molten slather beaded and slopped from its mouth, hitting the wet road in a hissing cloud of steam. Its white eyes stared at the sky, unblinking, while it shredded sheet metal and devoured it with grinding jaws. Everything about it was black and heaving. The metal monster swallowed its mouthful so loudly that Tabitha heard it up the road. Some kind of exhaust jutted out of its back; a glowing growth that hissed and sighed a vast jet of steam. The monster's rubbery black body gleamed in the rain and the grey daylight, dripping and hulking as it dropped to the road and rested. Suddenly its head snapped around in her direction, white eyes staring. Terrified, Tabitha had hidden behind a half-eaten taxi. Its bodywork was covered in messy welding where the creature had chewed and slobbered. She peered around from the wheel arch, looking through the doorless back door, through the taxi's torn-open front, to where the alien stood in the distance. It hadn't moved; it hadn't turned its head. It was just staring in the rain, eyes glowing cold, watching down the road for any sign of the intruder. Tabitha didn't dare breathe.
