Just outside a small town in Northwestern Louisiana, people begin to mysteriously disappear during summer thunderstorms. Even more confounding is that the killer leaves no bodies, only bones.

Bottom Feeder is a book about a small alien creature, taken from its own universe and thrown into another one (ours) billions of years ago when a supermassive black hole (SMBH) forms – by the way, this fact is actually true.

At the center of our universe is a SMBH that is billions of years old. Most of the species from the other universe perish when this happens, though some, like the little creature in the book, are strong enough to survive.

It is eventually captured by the tail of the Swift-Tuttle comet, which orbits through the human solar system every 133 years. It exists for millions of years in the tail of the comet.

This comet is where the meteor shower known as the “Perseid Meteor Showers” originates and during one of the comets orbits though our solar system, the creature and its home (like a large, interstellar rock) are kicked out of the comet’s tail and eventually crash into the earth, landing in a bayou just outside Minden, LA.

The alien is soon confronted by a human; a species that the alien now considers a food source.

Three veteran lawmen must find a way to track and stop this alien menace before it can spread and cause the end of mankind.
