Viridian Nova
Dr. Sarah Kappel became a biologist to fulfill her dreams. Then those dreams were bought for cheap and sold to the highest bidder: Trapped in a dead-end job for the mega-corporation NovaDyne, Sarah spends her days under nosy middle managers while trying to figure out how best to turn alien ecosystems into profit for the board of directors...on the cheap. Cheap hazard suits. Cheap security drones. Cheap proximity sensors.
That was why Sarah found herself surrounded by slavering alien monsters and tipped into a pit full of slime and tentacles. Why she found her body being transformed at a molecular level, reshaping a chubby dork into a gorgeous and lethal femme fatale. Why she found her mind being subsumed by an alien intelligence known as The Eye, with the goal of using the weak willed Sarah as a puppet to destroy the human race. But The Eye chose poorly.
Now, stranded on an alien planet with a (literal) killer body, Sarah's freedom from corporate control is short lived. After all, NovaDyne’s enemies are still very interested in what has become the most valuable asset in the Trappist system: Sarah Kappel herself. And they've sent their finest commander, Texas Dallas, and an entire army of killer robots.
So it seems, Sarah will have to make an army of her own...

I bought all three books in the bundle a couple days ago, but only got to the first book today. I devoured it, actually just finished it, and I loved it! :D Can't wait to dig into the second one and see what Sarah and her growing bioengineered polycule get up to!
<3 thank you so much!
What REALLY happens when a nerd becomes a super powered sexy alien and revolts against the ™alien swarm™ and ™alien elves™. If you like the craft of stars, hate the dystopia of late stage capitalism, and working out the kinks of an ethical revolution, this series is for you!
She isn't just a nerd! She's also a goober :)
I respect unapologetically horny art when I see it. This is what I needed after reading bleak real life history for a while. Thumbs up and such.
Thanks so much :)
It's Sarah Kerrigan vs the UEF. That's it. That's the novel.
Well, okay, it's half the novel - the other half is hot sex scenes with a girl who can rewrite people's biology to turn them into hot aliens (and trans their gender if they want), and there's a layer of cyberpunk hypercapitalist theming to round it out and establish that the bad guys deserve to have Sarah zerg-rush all over them. But I really can't exaggerate how much it's borrowing from Starcraft and Supreme Commander.
(There's even a throwaway gag where Sarah not-Kerrigan is deciding what to call her new ranged combat unit. She tries to call it a "hydralisk," but changes her mind when she finds out it's copyrighted.)
That being said, the writing is pretty solid. It does a good job of depicting an RTS-style army in a way that sounds cool instead of contrived or game-y. And DragonCobolt continues to be good at writing hot sex scenes. So like, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to do a porn parody of famous RTS games, I'm just saying that it's very upfront about what it's doing.
Thanks! And yeah, heh, I like to think of my book as an advertisement for Supreme Commander
