Sci-fi action meets steamy paranormal romance in the Alien novels,
as Katherine "Kitty" Katt faces off against aliens, conspiracies,
and deadly secrets. * "Futuristic high-jinks and gripping
adventure." -RT Reviews With the human population growing and alien
refugees pouring in from around the galaxy, Earth is becoming too
overcrowded to sustain itself-and the solar system is filling up
with the alien overflow. Advanced technology from the Alpha
Centauri and Vatusan systems offers one possible solution. It's
time to explore new planets and see if any uninhabited ones can be
claimed. The President and First Lady, aka Jeff and Kitty
Katt-Martini, aren't supposed to be on this mission, but what looks
like a snafu during a political photo op on the newly christened
Distant Voyager spaceship turns out to be a call for help from a
planet that might be Earth's salvation...or its destruction. The
discovery of a world at the opposite end of the galaxy that seems
like it could be a twin to Earth creates the usual issues for Kitty
& Company. It also raises questions of Z'porrah and Ancient
influence-not to mention cloning, the multiverse, and, scariest of
all, whether or not the Black Hole Universe Police are starting to
take too much of an interest in this particular universe.
Sci-fi action meets steamy paranormal romance in the Alien novels,
as Katherine "Kitty" Katt faces off against aliens, conspiracies,
and deadly secrets. * "Futuristic high-jinks and gripping
adventure." -RT Reviews It's a typical day of bureaucracy and
stress for President and First Lady Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini, in
part because Kitty's been tapped to represent Earth in the Galactic
Council. Kitty feels that's a bad idea, and she might be right.
When her first official TV morning show goes awry, it's only the
quick thinking of the actor determined to make the "Code Name:
First Lady" movie a reality that saves the day. It also forces
Kitty to work with Hollywood. Meanwhile, the Embassy Daycare kids
are all about to enter "real school"-and none of them want to go.
They may have grounds to be concerned because many of the other
students and their familes seem shady, and everyone seems to have
an evil agenda. Dealing with the assimilation of the aliens who
have come to Earth, while fending off advances from a variety of
Hollywood types, seems like Kitty's biggest challenge. But then she
and Jeff discover that Stephanie Valentino-Jeff's niece and the
true Heir Apparent to the original Mastermind-is back. Can Jeff and
Kitty thwart the most insidious attacks yet, while keeping tenuous
peace on Earth and goodwill toward all sentient species going? And
can they also find time to be part of the most truly terrifying
organization they've ever encountered-the school's parent-teacher
association?
