Dead Cell #1
Catalyst
Thyterians want her dead.
Revni Crasher, an unlicensed cybernetic prosthetics tech, is one of the infected, harboring the symbiotic, alien lifeform known as Chromata. The Thyterion Empire will stop at nothing to see New Earth cleansed. Cures they created to rid First and Second Wave of Chromata caused sicknesses that required amputations. Cybernetic prosthetics became commonplace among the survivors deemed Chromatans.
Revni learned how to fix her arm from her father. She isn't supposed to repair without a World Technical Franchise certification. As a junker who scraps metal and parts to survive in the modern Thyterion regime, she--like many others--can't afford the cert or the parts despite her own needs.
When soldiers come after her older brother, Revni must face the depth of Thyterion corruption she discovers alone.
First Wave colonists achieved harmony with New Earthk and the native Chromata.
Third Wave wants eradication. They'll stop at nothing to get their way.

About the author
E.L. Strife
20 books16 followersStrife enjoys crafting science fiction novels in various subgenres including space opera, cyberpunk, and fantasy. Sometimes she writes about aliens and colonization, other times she sticks to genetic engineering, the supernatural, and corrupt futuristic societies. Strife’s Sci-Fi is often crude and graphic, features strong women, and typically includes people who like to blow s--- up.
E. L. isn’t always in front of her laptop. She enjoys taking the four-wheelers to the coast with her husband and doing donuts in the sand. Strife most enjoys camping in the mountains and soaking in hot springs in the snow, but you're most likely to find her in the gym.
Strife craves learning new things like that crazy stuff called astrophysics and how to work on her 1981 Corvette and her Jeep. She hopes, someday, to add to her list of apocalyptic survival skills by learning to weld.
E. L. has traveled the US and Europe, served in the military, and completed two Bachelor's Degrees in Public Health and Human Sciences. She's toured lava tubes, the NASA center in Houston, castles, concentration camps, the Shelby center in Las Vegas, and many natural wonders. She's even learned to race BMWs at the track in southern California.
Strife enjoys connecting with readers and welcomes all feedback and questions. If you’d like to know when Strife’s next books will be out, and to ensure you hear about her giveaways, visit her website: elstrife.com and subscribe via the links on her homepage.

The ruling class are off-worlders, there to break the back of the local population. Local people have been infected since arriving on the planet by an organic, symbiotic substance (chromate) and their oppressor wants to eradicate that which they fear.
Tremendous action, and a very human side to Revni, and the occupied citizens.
Great series.

Great continuation of the series. Many years after the prequel. There is a new main character who is the granddaughter of the main character in the prequal. Lots of action and twists throughout.
