Book Description
Aliens captured her, making her into a dangerous weapon. He's a wounded recluse obsessed with saving her. Alien Legacy: The Psychic is the third installment in a steamy, adventurous SciFi Romance series. Jordyn is a professional woman at the top of her game. That is until Auntie reveals the horrible truth. Not only is her aunt not her aunt, but she claims Jordyn isn't even human. To make matters worse, Ancient Aliens from the distant past are coming back, intending to take over Earth. And they need Jordyn to carry out their dastardly plan. Psychic Michael feels the pull from Jordyn after the aliens release the power within her. But he knows he had to resist the urge to find her. If he and Jordyn come face to face, she'll absorb his abilities which might end up killing him. Drawn into a dream world, Jordyn and Michael discover they're kindred souls. Their all-encompassing love is something they never believed possible. Before the alien's release Jordyn as a lure to capture Michael, she's injected with a heinous poison that will force her to do what they want. Complete with a timer. Either bring Michael back or suffer an agonizing death. Tick-Tock. Jordyn can't believe how fate has screwed her. She survives an alien abduction, endures alien experiments, given superpowers, and meets the man of her dreams. Only to be forced to kill him... or die. Reader Beware: If you like scorching hot alien-hybrids, gut-wrenching adventure, and a steamy romance, you'll love this series. While it is book three and the invasion is still creeping closer, there's no romance cliffhanger with a guaranteed HEA! This riveting Sci-Fi Romance is intended for mature audiences. Caution: This book contains alien abduction and experiments. Some readers may find this disturbing.

Childhood's End
Author: Arthur C. Clarke
Publisher: RosettaBooks
ISBN: 0795324979
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
In the Retro Hugo Award–nominated novel that inspired the Syfy miniseries, alien invaders bring peace to Earth—at a grave price: “A first-rate tour de force” (The New York Times). In the near future, enormous silver spaceships appear without warning over mankind’s largest cities. They belong to the Overlords, an alien race far superior to humanity in technological development. Their purpose is to dominate Earth. Their demands, however, are surprisingly benevolent: end war, poverty, and cruelty. Their presence, rather than signaling the end of humanity, ushers in a golden age . . . or so it seems. Without conflict, human culture and progress stagnate. As the years pass, it becomes clear that the Overlords have a hidden agenda for the evolution of the human race that may not be as benevolent as it seems. “Frighteningly logical, believable, and grimly prophetic . . . Clarke is a master.” —Los Angeles Times

Typeset in the Future
Author: Dave Addey
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 168335334X
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
A designer’s deep dive into seven science fiction films, filled with “gloriously esoteric nerdery [and] observations as witty as they are keen” (Wired). In Typeset in the Future, blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how they create compelling visions of the future through typography and design. The book delves deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon, studying the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. These studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, type specimens, and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). Typeset in the Future is an obsessively geeky study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds.

The Life Engineered
Author: JF Dubeau

ISBN: 1941758606
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
JF Dubeau’s debut novel, The Life Engineered begins in the year 3594, where humanity is little more than a memory—a legend of the distant past destined to reappear. Capeks, a race of artificial creatures originally created by humans, have inherited the galaxy and formed a utopian civilization built on the shared goal of tirelessly working to prepare for their makers’ return. One moment a cop dying in the line of duty in Boston, the next “reborn” as a Capek, Dagir must find her place in this intricate society. That vaguely remembered “death” was but the last of hundreds of simulated lives, distilling her current personality. A robot built for rescue and repair, she finds her abilities tested immediately after her awakening when the large, sentient facility that created her is destroyed, marking the only instance of murder the peaceful Capeks have ever known. For the first time in their history, conflicting philosophies clash, setting off a violent civil war that could lay waste to the stars themselves. Dagir sets off on a quest to find the killers, and finds much more than she sought. As the layers of the Capeks’ past peel away to reveal their early origins, centuries-old truths come to light. And the resulting revelations may tear humanity’s children apart—and destroy all remnants of humankind.
