The Human Asked to Pet Our Apex Predator. Now It Follows Him Everywhere.

"Can I ask a stupid question?" "Given your species," Vorr said, "I suspect you will regardless." Jack ignored him. "Can I pet him?" Lyra stared at Jack. Then at Rook. "Absolutely not." When Jack Mercer, an environmental systems technician from Earth, arrives at Khepri Station, he finds alien scientists using shock restraints and fear to study Rook—an eleven-hundred-pound, Class Nine apex predator. To the alien researchers, Rook is a terrifying, uncontrollable monster that must be broken. But to Jack, he's just a scared animal that has been locked in a cage for six years. As Jack ignores the scientists' warnings and treats the galaxy's deadliest creature with basic empathy, he uncovers a dark secret hidden deep within the station's sub-levels. The alien researchers are about to learn a hard lesson: true strength isn't about inflicting fear, and humanity's greatest power is our ability to pack-bond with absolutely anything.
