  In this irreverent examination of the alien abduction mythos Mike has been abducted by aliens. He awakens not knowing how he got where he is. Bob, a wisecracking “alien,” greets him. Bob looks exactly like a human being. After much questioning, Mike discovers that people from Bob’s planet have been abducting humans for thousands of years. As part of that conversation, Mike learns that the reason Bob looks so much like Earth humans is that Earth had been colonized by Bob’s people. Due to circumstances beyond their control, the colony was reduced to two directly related individuals, who proceeded to populate the planet with obvious results. 
  The resultant Earth species is suspicious, war like, deceitful, and self-destructive. The population on Bob’s planet is pristine and has no inherent vices or negative personality traits. Mike talks Bob into taking him back to his home planet. The question this book explores is; If a human being from Earth is dropped into a society as gentle as Bob’s, does he conform to the beauty, or realize that the opportunities for exploitation of these people are endless. 
  This is the first book of a trilogy. #2 is 'The Cross-eyed Bear' #3 is 'The Fat Lady Sings'.

  Desire or destiny—which would you choose? 
   
   
   
  Portia Welham lives in modern-day New York, but was born 200 years before on an island kingdom ruled by her father. After she falls critically ill as a child, she's transported to the future using her family's Time Medallion. It saves her life; but having grown up in a different era, adult Portia can no longer reconcile to the fate that awaits her back home. 
   
   
   
  Watching over her shoulder is Michael Bryce, Guardian of the Medallion. It's his job to keep her—and the amulet—safe. And now they're locked in a battle of wills as he attempts to convince her it's time to come home to marry a prince to further her family's interests. 
   
   
   
  Till one day Michael arrives in her world seriously injured and Portia realizes something is truly amiss on Welham Island. As she nurses him to health, it's also clear there's more to their relationship than they are willing to admit. Fighting a forbidden desire, she agrees to return, whereupon she's engaged to a prince who promises protection against a common enemy. But it might be too little too late to save the island. And she can no longer ignore what her heart wants.

  Who was I? How did I come here? Why did I feel so much pain? 
  Waking up barefoot in the woods with no memory of who he is or how he got there, a young man known only by the name Stranger, sets off on a journey through the bizarre reality of World City. A place seemingly outside of time and space, where the people speak in riddles and the game is played by an entirely different set of rules.  
  With each new character he meets, Stranger’s path takes him through the streets, the nightclubs, the churches, the prisons, the courts, and finally to the highest power in the world, where he must make a choice that will forever alter the fate of the city.  
  Confronting the world’s biggest problems while searching for the answers to his life’s deepest questions, this stranger in a strange land must find something that is true in this lost city, and have faith, if he ever wants to find his way back home.

  In the first Amazing Tale of Antifascist Action, New York Times bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow serves up science fiction pulp in a North America fractured by drones, bioweapons, and ideology, giving us a heroine practically made out of violent resistance. 
    
  THE RUNNER 
  Just behind the front lines of a war they call 'civil', the shifter called Coyote is tough, fast, ugly-and known for taking jobs nobody else will. 
    
  THE JOB 
  Marge's sister is locked in a prison camp civilians shouldn't know about, deep in enemy territory. Rescuing her will take a plan made of weapons-grade insanity. 
    
  THE TRICK 
  To get in, all Coyote has to do is get caught. 
    
  THE PAYOFF 
  None, unless the satisfaction of killing an old enemy counts. And maybe a few small bounties from murdering fascist clones... 
    
  RUN, COYOTE. RUN.

  Rez Fayte managed to achieve what others could only dream of. Victory over the oppressor. He obliterated Neon District’s political and economic infrastructure with the power of a keystroke and the swing of his vengeful blade. Or so he thought. 
  As things go, every action invokes a reaction. And the government’s response was swift, and deadly. Forcibly purged from the only home he has ever known, Rez has now become a fugitive on the run who must confront the ills of a world far more dangerous than the one he narrowly escaped. 
  Rez however, has proven himself hard to kill. This tenacity will set off a string of world altering events as he fights to protect himself and the few that he holds dear. 
   In EXODUS, Rez ultimately finds himself at multiple crossroads but one only destiny; overcome at all costs.
