The Wicked Twisted Road D S Hamilton

"Dark and twisty sci-fi. Like driving through a long tunnel and flicking off your headlights, waiting with bated breath to see what will happen next."

She is an alien super soldier hunted by elite military forces.
He is a small-time gangster on the run from the Dixie Mafia.
Together they'll lead their pursuers on a wild ride along the highways and byways of the Old South, leaving chaos and carnage in their wake.

Idegen Videshee is an elite warrior fort he Logoninjy Empire sent to reconnoiter Earth. But her arrival does not go unnoticed. Shot down and captured by the United States military, Idegen is slated for examination and experimentation. Escape becomes a matter of life and death: her life and her captors' deaths.

Jon French is a former college football player with dreams of becoming a professional poker player. He also happens to be a low-level runner for the Dixie Mafia. When he gets wrapped up in a multi-departmental sting, his higher-ups believe he's a snitch. They come running with the goal to make an example of him - a bloody one. Knowing nobody leaves the DM alive, Jon sees no way out save for the "easy" one.

When Idegen and Jon meet, both at the threshold of death's door, the unlikely pair's lives are intertwined forever in a bloody fight and flight for survival. From the swamps of the Everglades to the backstreets of the big cities of the South, and across the hills and valleys in between, Jon and Idegen cut a wicked twisted road of murder, mayhem, intrigue, and deception.

And somewhere along the way, they both discover a little bit about what it means to be human.
