For years, humans have exploited the noble alien race, the Murkudahl Kait, harnessing their advanced technology and medical miracles without mercy. What they don’t know is that the Kait are pacifist offshoots of the blood-thirsty Murkudahl Kurukaii, a savage race of warriors who thrive on war and domination.

Shock. It was an emotion Peter had grown disturbingly familiar with over the past year. So familiar that he thought he had mastered the feeling by now. Case in point: 1. Werewolves exist? Sure. 2. He was one now? Whatever. 3. Brom, Chad, Knave (insert name here) wanted to assault, kidnap, and/or kill him? Not ideal, but Peter had dealt with it all like a champ.
