A politician assassinated. A monster reincarnated. A Scourge unleashed upon the galaxy. Victor Slate, former Marine infantry officer and the Governor of Texas, has just won his bid for the presidency over the United Nations of America. When an assassin's bullet takes his life during his victory speech, his consciousness is conscripted by one of the Great Devourers, Famivus.Slate is thrust into the alien world of Somna where he has been reincarnated into the body of a parasite and given one mission: evolve or die. If he can channel the monster inside and utilize his military and political experience to establish Famivus' personal army in the galaxy, the Scourge, he might have a chance to evolve before the forces of life find him and send him to a permanent death. This is a rewrite of my bestselling series by the same name. I'm editing it to bring it into the same universe as the Apex Archives, as well as correct the poor editing that was present in its initial release. Returning readers can expect different characters, a different world, and a sci-fi bent. However, in its essence, this book is still a monster evolution story where the main character is a villain, and the whole universe his victim. You've been warned.
