Sneak peek, on my way to the bigger book.

I have the Sneak Peek version of this book. I got it from the publisher through Netgalley. I don't usually like reading either sneak peeks or ebooks, but for this book, I made an exception. I am blown away.
I am aware of the author's previous books about dragons. There are no dragons per se in this story. We do have aliens. One is a blob circle with lots of tentacles labeled a Grasper. The other we aren't so sure of because it may just be a semi-aware artifact of a bipedal or not lifeform. What we have is a suit sort of thing that has bonded with our main character, Kira Navarez. The suit is trying to communicate with Kira. Kira is trying to communicate with the suit.
When Kira first finds the suit alien, it is a pile of dust. There are no signs around the pool of dust saying "stay away". Kira is contaminated by accident. But coming into contact with the dust somehow releases a signal to the Graspers, who destroy the ships the humans have sent to investigate the Alien ruins and the dust and the suit that now covers Kira. Kira has to send a message that there are hostile aliens back home. Trouble abounds.
I like adventurous science fiction. I will definitely need to get a full length version of this book, so I can finish it.
