Description

The body count is rising, and so is Nel's temper.

Archaeologist Dr. Nel Bently has spent her life avoiding clingy exes, but she never dreamed she'd be escaping across the stars. Now she and a fleet of refugees are hunted at every turn by the only woman she ever made the mistake of loving. And Nel, used to outrunning everything, just lost a leg.

Facing her life's new trajectory is hard enough, but when Nel starts hearing the deadly signal they tracked on Earth, she is forced to team up with the two men who were once her greatest enemies. Then, a grisly discovery on an abandoned hauler sheds horrific light on the voices in Nel's head–and what, exactly, Lin is after.

Their hold is full of bodies, their plans are full of holes, and bad-tempered Dr. Nel Bently, avoidant-extraordinaire, is sick of running.

THE X-FILES meets LARA CROFT in this snarky sci-fi about where we came from, and where we're going.

Fugitives is the fifth of six books in the Stars' Edge: Nel Bently Books.
