Alien: Into Charybdis
Author: Alex White
Publisher: Titan Books (US, CA)
ISBN: 178909528X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
The critically acclaimed author of Alien: The Cold Forge takes readers to a rogue colony where terror lurks in the tunnels of an abandoned Weyland-Yutani complex. “Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought it was an easy job—set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis.” There are just two problems: the colony belongs to the Iranian state, so diplomacy is strained at best, and the complex is located above a series of hidden caves. Charybdis has a darker history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets. Until their ship can be refueled, the McAllen team is trapped there. The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there's no one they can believe. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal... to the Colonial Marines.

Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Boxed Sex Volume 2 (Intergalactic Dating Agency)
Author: Cara Bristol
Publisher: Cara Bristol
ISBN: 1947203150
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
These aliens are willing to do anything to meet their mates…even join a dating agency and come to Earth. But are the humans ready for them? Sixx: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #4 Single alien dad seeks a human mate with some moxie. Saving up to start her own video game company, Moxie Maguire logs fourteen hours days working for an obnoxious boss. But when life seems to be passing her by, she sets another goal—meet her dream man. The Intergalactic Dating Agency matches her with Sixx. Hot & horned, a good listener, family-oriented—Sixx is the perfect man to share a life with. If only that life was on Earth. Single dad Sixx dreams of finding a mate and raising more “kits.” With females in short supply on his planet, he heads for Earth to get a female and get back to Dakon and his young son. The instant he meets Moxie, he recognizes she’s his Fated mate. He can’t abandon his child. And, unfortunately, his planet has even fewer computers than females. One for the entire planet, to be exact. Will two Fated Mates have to part? Or can they find a way to work it out? Kord: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #5 She’s a successful restauranteur, but he’s hungry for more than what she’s cooking. Barb Quintain owns the hottest restaurant in town, lives in a fabulous luxury apartment, and has a personality as big as the state of Texas. But outward confidence conceals old wounds as big as Texas, too. She hides behind success, fearing someone will discover what she’s really like—a fake, a fraud, all broth and no beans. Then, one evening, Kord walks into her restaurant—an alien so hot and sexy she knows he’s way out of her league. Kord doesn’t understand why none of his Intergalactic Dating Agency matches have panned out until he meets the owner of Barbie Q’s Restaurant and realizes she’s his Fated mate. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to recognize that. The only thing he can do is get her to hire him so he can convince her they’re meant to be together. Just as Kord’s patience wins her over, a family crisis sends Barb running in her rhinestone boots. Will confronting her past destroy their future? Braxx: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #6 She’s given up on love, but love hasn’t given up on her… If there’s anything Holly Hansen has learned it’s that falling for a persuasive charmer is a sure path to a broken heart. It happened when her fiancé abandoned her just when she needed him most. Everything about the smoking-hot alien, Braxx, reminds her of her ex, and he keeps showing up night after night at the restaurant where she works. It’s enough to wear a girl down, make her doubt her convictions, maybe hope that love can conquer the heartbreak of the past… The instant Braxx meets Holly Hansen, his horns begin to throb, and he realizes she’s the ONE. His Fated Mate. He can’t wait to settle down with her and make beautiful babies together. Unfortunately, she won’t give him the time of day. But he didn’t come this far to give up easily, and he hopes that with patience and baby steps, he’ll win her heart. Just when it seems he’ll succeed, Holly’s past comes back to haunt them. Can a heartbreak be too deep for love to fix? All the stories in this volume can be read as stand-alones. You do not have to have read the previous Dakonian books (Darak, Aton & Caid).

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
When boy meets girl meets alien, the angst of first love gets an extraterrestrial intervention in a tale both outrageously funny and full of heart. Ten years after Earth sent messages out into deep space, there has been an answer. Music from distant planet Pud 5 has reached the world’s radios. Are aliens about to invade? No one knows, and almost-eighteen-year-old Derek doesn’t really care, because at a wild end-of-the-world party, Jennifer Novak invited him to play beer pong, and things, well, progressed from there. Derek is in love. Deeply, hopelessly in love. He wants it all — marriage, kids, growing old on a beach in Costa Rica. For him, Jenny is the One. But Jenny has other plans, which may or may not include Derek. So Derek will try anything to win her — even soliciting advice from an alien who shows up in his hometown. This alien may just be the answer to Derek’s problem, but is Derek prepared to risk starting an intergalactic war to get his girl? Just how far is he willing to travel to discover the mysteries of the universe — and the enigma of love?

The Sex Is Out of This World
Author: Sherry Ginn
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476600864
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
"Science fiction" can be translated into "real unreality." More than a genre like fantasy, which creates entirely new realms of possibility, science fiction constructs its possibilities from what is real, from what is, indeed, possible, or conceivably so. This collection, then, looks to understand and explore the "unreal reality," to note ways in which our culture's continually changing and evolving mores of sex and sexuality are reflected in, dissected by, and deconstructed through the genre of science fiction. This book is a collection of new essays, with the general objective of filling a gap in the literature about sex and science fiction (although some work has gone before, none of it is recent). The essays herein explore the myriad ways in which authors--regardless of format (print, film, television, etc.)--envision very different beings expressing this most fundamental of human behaviors.

Knowing Fear
Author: Jason Colavito
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078643273X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
Tracing the development of horror entertainment since the late 18th century, this study argues that scientific discovery, technological progress, and knowledge in general have played an unparalleled role in influencing the evolution of horror. Throughout its many subgenres (biological horror, cosmic horror and others) and formats (film, literature, comics), horror records humanity's uneasy relationship with its own ability to reason, understand, and learn. The text first outlines a loose framework defining several distinct periods in horror development, then explores each period sequentially by looking at the scientific and cultural background of the period, its expression in horror literature, and its expression in horror visual and performing arts.
