  I made it home. But something came with me … 
  From hero to outcast. From saviour to biohazard … 
  As hollow victories go, this one is hard to beat. 
  When Driver and I saved Earth from the Anomaly's suffocating radiation, we thought it was all over. 
  Our triumphant return from the occupied alien world of Bayzen was supposed to draw a line under everything. 
  The problem is, we didn't come home alone. 
  No one has ever seen anything like this. 
  What they're calling it sends shivers down my spine: a parasitic alien pathogen. 
  It could be a virus, a toxin, or maybe something even worse. And believe me: what we don't know definitely can hurt us. 
  It's too late for me—I've been exposed. But this has never been about me. 
  It's going to take some incredible risks and another long-shot space mission to get to the bottom of this, but I'll fight until my last breath to undo the damage I've done. 
  As a horrible question echoes in my mind, I'll do anything to make sure the answer is the right one: 
  Am I Earth's last hope … or the man who sealed its fate?

  Edna Ferber was an American novelist, short story writer and playwright. Her novels were popular in her lifetime and included the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big (1924), Show Boat (1926; made into the celebrated 1927 musical), Cimarron (1929; made into the 1931 film which won the Academy Award for Best Picture), and Giant (1952; made into the 1956 Hollywood movie). Dancing Girls contains her unique mix of real people, sadness, joy and always humor and is my favorite for the way she paints a picture of mid America small town society and how good people somehow (and sometimes) can find their way to each other.

  What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
  After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
  But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
  For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
  Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.
