August 08, 2024 - Wartime calls for extraordinary measures, and extraordinary measures create extraordinary beings. Set against the simmering backdrop of the Cold War, How to Make a Monster: The Slenderfoot Story by Stephen Hatlaban follows Dr. Fyodor Molozov and Dr. Ekaterina Markov, two visionary scientists spearheading a covert military project that plunges into the uncharted territories of genetic engineering. Their collaboration results in the creation of a team of extraordinary shapeshifters, more monster than human, designed to serve as Russia's ultimate battlefield assets.

How to Make a Monster: The Slenderfoot Story is a gripping sci-fi thriller that combines the suspense of geopolitical rivalry with the complexities of human identity. This novel introduces readers to Nadia, one of the engineered beings whose youthful exuberance and determination to prove herself set her apart. As Nadia and her peers struggle with their monstrous identities and the weight of their intended purpose, they are driven to question their very existence and the true motives of their creators.

When unexpected threats arise, and the line between ally and adversary becomes increasingly blurred, Nadia and her fellow shapeshifters must confront not only external enemies but also the internal turmoil ignited by their origins.
