BLOODHUNTER II

A rescue mission into a dead starship becomes first contact with something old, hungry, and capable of mercy.
When First Lieutenant Sarah Merritt and her recon team vanish inside the Coristan Drift, Colonel Casey Dahlgren has no intention of waiting for Fleet bureaucracy to catch up. He has chased monsters before. He has brought his daughter home from the dark once already. He will do it again.
But the wreck that took Sarah is not simply a derelict. It is awake, growing, and listening.
What begins as a desperate rescue becomes something far larger: a pattern of disappearances across the Perimeter, a colony transport called the Hearthway trapped in the same alien signal, and an intelligence that may be predator, victim, or both. It has consumed minds. It has hunted survivors through dead corridors. And now it wants to talk.
To save Sarah, sixty-one colonists, and perhaps an entire region of space, Casey must do the one thing harder than fighting the monster in front of him.
He must decide whether to listen.
Bloodhunter II: No Rangers Die Today is a military science fiction thriller about rescue, alien contact, family, command, and the impossible line between justice and mercy.
