The Alien Within

Book excerpt: Set several hundred years in the future at a time of human expansion throughout space, The Alien Within centres on the conflict between the human race and the Zirkon, an alien species bent on domination or destruction. Into this inter-species war enters Captain Claire Bourneville. She is a warrior in the human campaign against the Zirkon, fighting not only aliens, but human traitors and also a darkness she discovers within herself. Forced to confront freaks of nature and design, Claire battles her way to the edges of Human Space and back, in her attempt to bring order to the universe. She is an expert soldier, calm and coolly competent in the heat of battle. But Claire's never been in a fight like this. The stakes are higher than ever, the price of failure unthinkable. Can Claire and her team, housed in Australia's Outback, win the important battle? And what secret does she discover about her past? Visit the moon, Pluto and far reaches of space in the exciting adventure The Alien Within: A Hero For Humanity.
