Periphage Blues

In a dive bar on the back side of nowhere, smuggler Samuel Whitt meets Color of Air. He thinks he's playing her. Turns out she's a man-eater. Literally. That should have been the end of it-instead, he's trapped in her mind, a passenger watching her wear his face.

To survive, they'll have to work together. But someone wants Color of Air weaponized, and they'll erase anyone who knows she exists. From smoke-filled back rooms to black-market labs to a collector's gallery of stone corpses, Samuel and Color of Air chase a conspiracy through the back alleys of civilized space-one that reveals Samuel's own memories were never his to begin with.

For fans of Murderbot, The Expanse, and Timothy Zahn, Periphage Blues is a gripping sci-fi thriller with a noir edge, full of survival, identity, and a partnership neither one chose.
