The ultimate terror weapon is alive...and she's out for revenge. It was an idea born from the madness of the Colony Wars: create living weapons in the shape of man's ancient nightmares. Vampires. Werewolves. Zombies. They turned the tide of war and broke the back of the rebellion. But no one stopped to ask what they would do with a unit of Special Operations-trained vampires when the war was over. Not until it was too late, and the only solution was to try to wipe them out, using a bioweapon tailored to their unique genetic structure. One survived. Now Laura So, the last Nightrider, comes out of the darkness of deep space and sets off across humanity's far-flung settled worlds, seeking vengeance on the ones who ordered the massacre of her people, Along with her lover, the more-than-human medic who saved her life, she confronts not only her enemies, but the question of who she is and her place in the universe. Because beneath the monster's skin there beats a heart that's all too human..."Frankly, this book is so much fun it should be illegal. You've got your space battles, your land battles, your vampires, your werewolves, your zombies, your sex, your violence, your artificial intelligence run-amuck computers, revenge, exotic planets, all well-told with a non-stop slam-bam pace. I'm not really a huge SF reader, but when Nixx comes out with the next book, I'm there." - Mark Terry, author of SINS OF THE FATHER "J.D. Nixx opens up with both barrels and blows away all genre lines in this wild, weird and insanely enjoyable kick-ass action yarn. If more sci-fi was like MONSTER then everybody would be reading sci-fi!" -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of ASSASSIN'S CODE and PATIENT ZERO"Toss vampires, werewolves and space marines into a blender and you get one hell of a story. Monster is the best kind of genre mash-up: weird, violent and fun." - Stephen Blackmoore, author of CITY OF THE LOST
