Introducing a new techno-thriller from Chris A. Jackson - The Dragons of Boston! The monster awakens... Harvard PhD student Aleksi Rychenkna longs for the peace of solitary study, away from people, questions, and human interaction. With a new advisor, a new project, and a fascinating new mystery, a preserved specimen that defies identification and contains human DNA, she has everything she wants. But the mystery runs deeper than Aleksi bargains for. Powerful people are interested in her work; people who can make or break a young scientist's career. Then, after an accidental exposure to the specimen's strange DNA, she finds herself...changing. It begins with dreams, nightmares of blood filled with violent images and urges. When threatened by another student, her social anxiety shifts to aggression. Her reflexes and instincts sharpen, and she is becomes stronger and faster than she should be. Aleksi begins to realize her dreams are more than psychosis. Because they're not dreams at all. They're memories. And now the powerful people aren't just interested in her, they're hunting her.
