Discoveries in Non-Fiction is a unique collection of contemporary non-fiction for high school students in Grades 9 and 10. Based on the broad theme of discovery, the anthology is organized into seven themes (plus a "More to Discover" section) which encourages students to discover for themselves new ideas and connections among subjects, people, themselves, and the world. The selections cover a wide variety of subject areas, formats, sources, and exemplary writing styles. Activities following each selection, and in the Teacher's Resource, prompt students to reflect and make connections.

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 they'd have 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 that contain deadly secrets. 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.
