Drifters - Nel Bently Books, #2

The only person on Earth she trusts...is in space. Archaeologist Nel Bently left Chile in the wake of murder, vandalism, and UFO sightings. Then, just as her teaching semester begins, cops are at her door. Accused of a murder she's fairly certain she didn't commit, Nel has no choice but to go on the run. She flees across New England, following her gut and clues left by her elusive alien-benefactor-turned-almost-girlfriend.  But running from the law isn't easy with only her field pack and a handful of scorned exes to depend on.
Between starvation, untraceable texts, and a harrowing journey through the wilderness, Nel is forced to question everything about the science she loves and the people she trusted. THE X-FILES meets LARA CROFT in this snarky sci-fi about where we came from, and where we're going. Drifters is the second of six books in the Stars' Edge: Nel Bently Books. This series contains descriptions of various queer relationships and intimacy.
If this makes you uncomfortable, this is not the series for you.
