Extinction (Dominant Species #3)

A pivotal battle looms. Branded as murderers and forced into hiding in the jungle planet's deepest recesses, pilot John Soledad, biologist Rachel Sanders and nurse Donna Applegate survive on their wits, frequent field remedies applied by Donna and occasional late-night raids on the colony's storage warehouses for needed supplies. While the trio struggles to survive, another threat - one more virulent than the jungle's life forms - threatens the very survival of the new colony. Rachel's venom-induced visions are telling her something - revealing to her the terrible nature of the danger - and arousing what seem like memories of things and events ancient, dark and monstrous. 233 pages.
