HIDDEN SHIFTERS (2022)
HIDDEN SHIFTERS
Invading aliens on Planet A7 have divided native hybrid creatures into two categories: harmless and dangerous. Shapeshifters, capable of assuming any form, are considered the largest threat.
Hidden in sheep form, shapeshifter Adrian Walker works as a janitor at the hybrid prison. When he is promoted to warden, he has no choice but to comply. After his shapeshifter girlfriend is taken prisoner, he learns she is part of an underground movement to overthrow the aliens.
Determined to rescue her, Adrian agrees to become the inside man for the resistance. As their plan unfolds, he must decide if he will continue to play it safe or risk it all—not only to save his girlfriend, but also the future of the planet.
AUTHOR INSPIRATION
David Dann describes himself as “a simple man with simple needs.” Diagnosed with verbal apraxia at the age of two and autism at the age of four, David had trouble expressing himself from a young age. Growing up, he found a deep connection to animals—especially his family dogs Lily,
Lola, and Leia, who provided emotional support and ultimately the inspiration to write this book. Reading and watching science fiction also helped David discover more about himself and his passion for storytelling. A San Diego native, David now lives in Montana, where there’s plenty of room for more animals in his life.
