Whatever you do, don't piss off Slither. That's the only warning you're going to get. Slither is an augmented, shapeshifting assassin with a hair-trigger temper. Hurled across space to a world of violence and treachery, a place where no one can be trusted, Slither can't get home until she (or maybe he?) stops an interplanetary invasion. What happens next is a ferocious, fast-paced brawl where revenge is a dish best served NOW. Fasten your seatbelt! This is David Gerrold at his best!

"A thrilling journey through portals and possibilities, this fast-paced adventure redefines heroism with a gender-fluid protagonist at its heart. With augmented humans, war-loving monocultures, and physical challenges, the story builds into a breakneck speed adventure. David Gerrold has created a classic science fiction tale infused with a fresh, modern perspective."
-Wendy Van Camp, Poet Laureate Emerita & editor of Eccentric Orbits

"Travel with Slither, a shapeshifting agent from the future Earth to a world populated by a male monoculture. As the only woman on this world, Slither soon discovers these men are up to no good. A highly recommended read that will keep you turning pages."
-Brian LeBansky, science fiction poet & co-discoverer of a purple acid phosphatase
