Description
Lt. Carrie Pace is a combat medic in a war that humanity is losing. The toll of war as the only woman on the front lines has burnt her to a crisp. The brutality of her shipmates has convinced her that there's nothing worse than people. Unfortunately, she's wrong.
The Slithers evolved on an underwater planet, and they have one tactic: breach the hull and fill the ship with water so they can swim aboard and engage at close quarters. Guns jam, men drown, and the Slithers always win. Against overwhelming odds, Carrie fights for survival while searching for a reason to live.
The brutal alien invaders have already destroyed most of Earth’s population. They bombed major cities as well as the colony domes on Luna, and then most of their force disappeared into the Earth’s oceans. The human survivors struggle to fend off the remaining forces while desperately searching for the truth of what the invasion force is planning from the bottom of the oceans.
This dark science fiction short story follows a strong female protagonist as she struggles to survive the attack of an alien race. She and her fellow marines are trapped on their ship as it slowly fills with water and dangerous assailants bent on ripping them limb from limb. It has received great reviews from fans of military science fiction and psychological horror, as well as weird fiction.
