Former cop Daniel Bennett has survived a brutal jail sentence only to find himself stranded on a backwater colony planet. Outcast, homeless, and desperate, his survival depends on becoming a host for parasitic juvenile aliens.

The juveniles look like spiders – an arachnophobe's worst nightmare.

And when he discovers that his only friend on the planet stands accused of a grisly double murder, Daniel must unravel the truth before his friend is shipped back to the hellish penal station.

Survival Instincts –the first in M.E. Owen's new series — introduces you to the enigmatic alien Skertz as well as a driven ex-cop haunted by his past. A science fiction twist on a traditional private investigator, lovers of both science fiction and mystery will find they can't put this book down.
