Terror Forming by P.A.Sheppard

This book really blew my mind! I'm not into science fiction at all, but I bought this book as I'm a big fan of Paul Sheppard after reading The Night Crawler which was released by Aphotic Realm. I'll admit some of the science bit went over my head but it is clearly very well thought out.

The plot is just wild, this book is a thrilling ride through space and bodies! The story starts off
