  In "They are Not Us", a group of humans wake up aboard a technologically advanced spaceship, their memories fragmented and their world turned upside down. 
  As the humans grapple with their disorientation, secrets begin to unravel, revealing the true nature of their captors' intentions. 
  Chapter by chapter, the story delves into the humans' journey of self-discovery, interwoven with the complex mystery of the Velonians' fascination with humanity. From their initial awakening and discovery of their lost world's transformation to their realization of the aliens' desire to physically emulate them, the humans face a series of ethical dilemmas, fear, and determination. 
   The characters—Jane, Mark, Elena, David, and Sarah—each bring their unique perspectives and strengths to the narrative. As they learn to navigate advanced technology, train for a cosmic battle, and forge unlikely alliances, they find themselves questioning the very essence of humanity and its connection to the universe. 
  In the climax, Mark stumbles upon a horrifying revelation—the Velonians are not only seeking to understand humanity but to become it, through a gruesome process of incorporating human organs into their own bodies.  
  The journey explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and the ethical boundaries of exploration and transformation. It delves into the ethical implications of a sentient race seeking to assimilate the essence of another species, and how this obsession disrupts the balance between curiosity and morality.  
  Through a blend of suspense, science fiction, and psychological depth, "They are Not Us" takes readers on a gripping journey of survival, understanding, and the intertwining destinies of humanity and an alien race. As the characters grapple with their place in a vastly changed universe, they ultimately confront the question of what it truly means to be human.

  INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
  In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
  Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
   
  Professionally speaking, Foster Ward was perfect. There it was, a model of neatness, beds and lockers beautifully tidy; there was the famous surgeon arriving to make his round, attended by his house surgeons of varying status and by eager but nervous students; there were the nurses, dutiful and efficient, ready to answer any questions he might ask. But beneath the decorous surface there surged many a strong emotion; love and ambition, professional and personal jealousy, fear and hope ... one way or another, the ward of a big hospital can provide them all.

  Claustrophobia, a frightful time to be sure. But being buried alive? One of the worst terrors to happen, and yet it does. A horrific reading of a classic tale by Edgar Allen Poe, and his look on, arguably, the worst way to die!
