About the Book



"When a guard discovers an unusual lifeform on her remote moon outpost, she disregards protocol to investigate, with catastrophic consequences. The parasitic alien wears its victims' skins and adopts their personalities. It's a perfect disguise, and allows the creature to spread without being detected. By the time humanity realizes it's facing extinction, a third of its space stations have already gone dark. As the alien's ruthless progress collapses communication networks, wipes out defenses, and leaves hundreds of stations to fend for themselves, a handful of remarkable individuals must find a way to battle the greatest threat the universe has ever encountered...or die trying"--



Book Synopsis



It's not just hunting you. It's becoming you.


From USA Today bestselling author Darcy Coates comes Parasite, a pulse-pounding sci-fi horror novel that blurs the line between survival thriller and psychological nightmare.


Across the outer moons and space outposts of a fractured human galaxy, something unspeakable spreads. A parasite--alien, untraceable, and endlessly patient--moves from host to host, mimicking its victims with chilling accuracy. It copies their voices. Their memories. Their faces. And by the time you notice something's wrong...it's already too late.


Told through multiple interlinked storylines, Parasite follows a handful of survivors--scientists, technicians, soldiers--as they confront a threat they cannot understand, and in many cases, cannot see. What does it mean to be human? And how do you fight something that knows you better than you know yourself?


For fans of The Thing, Alien, and Into the Drowning Deep, this is an immersive and relentless story of paranoia, extinction, and the horror of not knowing who--or what--is standing beside you.



Review Quotes




"Ridley Scott's chestbursters are pop culture legend, and any mention of unwanted alien stowaways brings to mind John Hurt sprawled out on a table in Alien, blood spewing from his chest. But Darcy Coates's parasites are interested in more than just gestating in their hosts before chewing their way out through the sternum." -- Book Riot
