With slow deliberation, Sil bent and began undressing the dead woman.Ĭover art copyright © 1995 by Metro Goldwyn Mayer Inc. She sniffed the air, and her eyes, steely blue beneath a lovely halo of blond hair, sharpened as she studied her surroundings and the body at her feet. Headfirst, then arms, reaching up and around to the top of the chrysalis and swinging herself carefully out and down to stand next to Angela’s corpse, reborn a fully grown and beautiful woman. Like an exquisite butterfly emerging from its cocoon, a new Sil pushed her way free. Within the husk where the woman had found death, there was motion, an unhurried shuffling, then pressure. THE HUMAN RACE HAS BEEN AT THE TOP OF THE EVOLUTIONARY LADDER.Ībove Angela’s cooling body, the chrysalis began to break apart, cracks spidering in all directions along its glossy surface. For if they don’t catch her before she reproduces, the planet will be seeded with the spawn of an unknown species-a species genetically superior to our own and with no known predators.
The only problem is that their quarry is like nothing they’ve ever encountered, and all they have to go on is a growing trail of bodies and the knowledge that time is running out.
Now a special team of uniquely talented individuals has been assembled to stop her. But she escaped and-driven by powers not even she understands and an instinct she cannot control-she descends on Los Angeles with a single purpose: to mate and reproduce. Beautiful, blond, and deadly, she is part alien and part human, a top-secret government experiment scheduled to be destroyed.
