The Xenos are here?A small gleaming shape detached itself from the top of a tree and launched into a shallow, arrow-straight glide. It touched don on the raft and was instantly still, legs splayed, watching its prey. The girl did not move. With infinite care the Xeno crawled up on to her thigh and quietly slid its ovipositor into the girl?s thigh. The girl stirred, rubbing the back of her leg with the other foot, then slept again, totally unaware of the alien life within her.* This is a VG text copy of the 1st./1st. with some shelf wear & ageing reducing it to GD++.*
