Drift - Paperback

by Roman Hawthorne (Author), Pam Elise (Editor), Nicole Hower (Cover Design by)

Katie Villin works for the CDC's Biological Engineering Task Force and has fielded emergency calls from excessive rat populations to malformed calves. Most days, it's a dull, thankless job staring at spreadsheets. So when Katie's team gets wind of a series of impossible sightings near the nation's capital, they opt to investigate, mainly because Washington, DC, has better steakhouses than their remote outpost in West Virginia.

The team expects a few days of compted hotel rooms and expensive dinners until they arrive at the first scene. A man there claims to have killed his wife when she morphed into a sizeable octopoid creature and attacked him. Katie would be her normal, skeptical self if not for the body on his living room floor with tentacles intact and a telltale tattoo. The impossible-to-deny evidence propels Katie and her team into a surreal fight against time as they attempt to stop the spread of dangerous, violent monsters before the entire United States faces violence on the scale of apocalyptic proportions.
