Colony 999 (Colony Negative Series #2)

Anathemas are back and deadlier than ever, the genetic monsters now infecting all across the Colonies. Doctor Jacqueline Deveraux and her husband Damien Rok are to blame, or so Sabbath wants the galaxy to think. Despite thinking they could move past the trauma and their memories from Colony Negative, a life that had brought them together, choices always have consequences. Not only do these monsters, more powerful and violent than before, put the entire universe at risk, so does it risk their relationship. In order to face the future, uncertain with lives at stake and reputations destroyed, both Jack and Damien have to face their past. The key to curing this enzyme goes back to a planet Jack is all too familiar with, the beginning of her disability and scars: Colony 999. There, Damien must also fight with his past, fight against an enemy he was once willingly a part of, one that seeks to control by means of violence. Yet as Damien begins to pull away from Sabbath as much as possible, his wife is drawn to the idea of letting Sabbath win, figuring a cure to be impossible. That is...until that infection spreads to someone she thought to be immune and she has no other choice but to save the people who wish to see her suffer.
