    About this ebook

    Short Introduction to the Dark Worlds Series
    Read 10,000 words of epic world building!
    Squeaky and Alex are just two out of thousands of aliens who ended up on earth after the Alien Wars. One is a vampire prime who landed on his feet, was awarded war honors and earned a place in human society. His wealthy, privileged life is turned upside down when he’s abducted in broad daylight.
    Squeaky was not so fortunate. Growing up on an alien slave ship, he suffered starvation. His smaller body and delicate features mark him out as weak among his vampire brethren. He’s had to scrape and claw a meager existence out on a world bursting with excess. When his employer demands he abduct a fellow vampire, it weighs heavy on his conscious. Yet, how can he refuse knowing his innocent new bride will pay the price for his refusal?
    Enter Dakota Davenport. She’s one of the nation’s most prominent hunters and she’s been retained to find Alex at all costs. What nobody knows, is that a crazed killer harboring a genuine hatred against aliens is intent on killing him in the slowest and most painful way possible.

      Epilogue

      It’s the year 2092, and the world is a very different place, especially since the end of the alien wars. The earth is now populated by several different species, all living side by side, working together, and things can get rough. Aliens sometimes have difficulty navigating the complexities of human civilization, and there is still much prejudice against the newcomers.

      When your back’s against the wall, and your survival is on the line, don’t trust public law enforcement. They’re overworked, underpaid, and spend most of their time combatting the never-ending war on designer drugs.

      No matter who’s after you, alien or human, a good hunter can mean the difference between life and death. Get the best one you can find, and then sit back and enjoy the no holds barred thrill ride as they do their thing. Dakota Davenport is the best in the business. She protects newcomers with a vengeance. Trust me, she won’t let you down.

      Chapter 1

      Ghosts Whispering From The Past

      The planet Earth was a weird and wonderful place. The sky was blue, the oceans were deep, and it was just about far enough off the beaten path not to be visited by his kind anytime soon. Alek had been stranded on this obscure planet for over fifty years and had somehow managed to carve out a semblance of a life for himself and his family. The humans were an odd lot, but he had slowly become used to their strange ways.

      Alek leisurely strolled through the city park on his lunch break. Pulling his hoodie up over his head, he was careful to block out as much as the sunlight as possible. Though his kind thrived on their new world, prolonged exposure to sunlight did strange things to their photosensitive skin. Vampires were one of the few species that never fed in the middle of the day. The human world stopped every day at the same time for this activity called lunch. It was one of the several times each planetary rotation when his mortal counterparts fed. Alek had long since identified it as an opportunity to either have a refreshing swim or a massage.

      Today, he had taken a shortcut through the park to get to his favorite spa with the intention of swimming his lunch break away. Normally, he thought of walking to swim as a clever way to cram twice the exercise into his hectic life.

      In the year 2092, the world was a very different place. Since the end of the alien wars, the ozone layer was extensively damaged to the point of being in imminent collapse. Alien weapons had leached exotic chemicals, including high concentrations of abrasive particulate matter into the upper ionosphere, creating what the humans called the Cerion Effect.

      The Cerion Effect resulted in increased oxygen in the air, fluctuations in atmospheric pressure, and a slight increase in surface temperature. The ice caps melted, creating more temperate zones in the polar regions. A rapid influx of water into the oceans as the ice caps melted lead to an increase in sea level, which ate up an estimated hundred kilometers of the coastal land mass around each continent. Eventually, the planet would become uninhabitable but not for generations.

      The atmospheric changes allowed plant and animal life to grow much larger than before the ships had landed. The changes had been well tolerated by the human physiology, proving mortals were both robust and adaptable. The Most noticeable change was size, with the average human nearing six feet tall. The effects had been especially profound in the deep ocean ecosystems, where squid were now
