Drifters
stars edge: nel bently book II

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.

 “Holmes pulls it off again with her absolutely driven Nel. Nothing, from hypothermia to the FBI, is going to stop this girl. Grit, friendship and deciding what to fight for when the future is bleak gives this a surprising emotional oomph to layer over the down-to-earth survival story.
I read it straight through and wanted more.”
-O. E. Tearmann, author of The Hands We’re Given
