Rate this book
The world as we know it has ended. The human population has been decimated by a war with an alien race. Corporations and military units have hoarded what technology remains. Hunter-for-hire Alexandra Beckett just wants to be left alone. There aren't that many ways for a knife-wielding veteran to make good money and she has only one don't get dead. She also works alone. So maybe two rules. Samuel Garrett, CEO of Garrett Pharmaceuticals, has other plans. His greed and ego have him on the hunt for a unique biological specimen; a role that Beckett might fulfill. He will stop at nothing to see his vision made reality. This Science Fiction adventure features explosions, mysterious glowing injectable substances, really REALLY bad guys and mutants of unnatural size. Dark Descent is a non-stop adventure. Don't say we didn't warn you. * this story was originally written as a short story series. This volume is the length of a novel, with all eight original shorts.

It's the beautiful cover that drew me in but this book is amazing. It's a nice LGBT SciFi adventure that you'll love devouring.

If you like your stories dark and your heroines tortured then you will enjoy this book. It's a story about a woman who's tough but who gets a raw deal, a lot, in the story so buckle up and harden your heart because it will break over and over again. Good writing.
