A WOMAN ON THE RUN. A CAPTAIN ADRIFT IN SPACE. ONE OF THEM IS INFECTED WITH AN ALIEN PARASITE.
In this dark science fiction thriller, a young woman must confront her past so the human race will have a future.
Rosalyn Devar is on the run from her famous family, the bioengineering job she's come to hate, and her messed-up life. She's run all the way to outer space, where she's taken a position as a "space janitor," cleaning up ill-fated research expeditions. But no matter how far she goes, Rosalyn can't escape herself. After too many mistakes on the job, she's given one last chance: take care of salvaging the Brigantine, a research vessel that has gone dark, with all crew aboard thought dead.
But the Brigantine's crew are very much alive--if not entirely human. Now Rosalyn is trapped on board, alone with a crew infected by a mysterious parasitic alien. The captain, Edison Aries, seems to still maintain some control over himself and the crew, but he won't be able to keep fighting much longer. Rosalyn and Edison must find a way to stop the parasite's onslaught...or it may take over the entire human race.

“This is the fifth book I’ve read by Madeleine Roux, and she never disappoints! A very enjoyable science fiction novel, with a tinge of horror.
Ive owned this book for 4 years, and I can’t believe it took me this long to read it.
Rosalyn is a great main character, and it was nice to follow some of the secondary characters for a little bit too.
I don’t read much horror, but the horror was enjoyable, and this book was well worth the read.
I love her writing style”
“Salvaged by Madeleine Roux is a gripping blend of sci-fi and horror that pulled me in with its eerie atmosphere and complex characters. The world-building is immersive, and I loved the unsettling mystery surrounding the reclaimed crew. While the tension and body horror kept me hooked, the ending felt a little lacking in detail. The protagonist, Rosalyn, was compelling, though I wished for a little more depth in some of the side characters. Overall, it’s a solid, creepy read that kept me engaged!”About Madeleine Roux
