Galaxy Quest meets Roswell in this quirky sci-fi rom-com from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ann Aguirre. He's stranded. He's desperate. He's not looking for love. Alien Tamzir Jaarn, a.k.a. Seeker, is paying the price for risking an illicit holiday on an interdicted planet. His ride off-world never showed, and he's been stranded on Earth for nearly a year. His gear is breaking down, food is becoming a problem, and if his camouflage unit fritzes, he'll wind up in a government lab. But he's met some cool humans online, and they've invited him to the biggest space-themed convention around. Why not make memories with them while he figures out how to get home? Space Con or bust! She's nerdy. She's flirty. She's ready for romance. Jennette Hammond is an endearing weirdo, voted most likely to bang an alien in high school. Her house is full of gray man collectibles, adorable tentacle monsters, and yes, in college, she volunteered for a SETI-type program. Not that she's ever had any close encounters of the sexy, alien kind. Heck, she's never even been able to convince anyone to attend Space Con. But that's about to change. Finally, she has online friends who have agreed to go, and it will be a romp to remember—and she'll finally put a face to the name of her longtime crush, Seeker. When alien meets adorkable, they're destined for an out-of-this-world affair...

"Salvation est assiégée par les Monstres. La situation semble sans espoir. Les Monstres se sont organisés. Ils organisent des patrouilles, tendent des embuscades, attaquent les campements des hommes qui ont oublié comment se battre. Trèfle, parvenue à leur échapper avec Del, Bandit et Tegan, est leur seul espoir. Elle n’a qu’une certitude : elle est née pour se battre. Et si elle doit mourir, ce sera au côté de Del, et les armes à la main. ".

WELCOME TO HELL The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the Conglomerate’s most dangerous criminals are confined for life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid. Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen, inmate Dresdemona “Dred” Devos controls one of Perdition’s six territories, bordered on both sides by would-be kings eager to challenge her claim. Keeping them at bay requires constant vigilance, as well as a steady influx of new recruits to replace the fallen. Survival is a constant battle, and death is the only escape. Of the newest convicts, only one is worth Dred’s attention. The mercenary Jael, with his deadly gaze and attitude, may be the most dangerous criminal onboard. His combat skill could give her the edge she needs, if he doesn't betray her first. Unfortunately, that's what he does best. Winning Jael’s allegiance will be a challenge, but failure could be worse than death… FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

La vie de Trèfle a bien changé. Dans l’enclave, elle était une chasseuse, forte et combattive, indispensable à la survie de la communauté. Pourtant, à Salvation où elle s’est réfugiée avec Del, son partenaire de chasse, elle n’est plus qu’un fardeau. Elle ne sait ni coudre, ni cuisiner. Elle n’aime pas aller à l’école. Et pour ne rien arranger, Del prend ses distances. Mais aux alentours de la petite ville tranquille, le danger rôde toujours. Les Monstres ne sont pas loin. Et ils sont de plus en plus intelligents. Ils observent. Ils attendent. Ils ont un plan. Le combat approche. Bientôt, Trèfle va retrouver une raison de vivre.

La guerre. Les épidémies. En un mot : l’apocalypse. La surface de la terre est devenue inhabitable. Les rares survivants se sont réfugiés dans le monde d’En-Dessous, à l’abri d’enclaves souterraines reliées par des tunnels. Trèfle a toujours connu la loi de l’enclave. Elle y a toujours obéi sans discuter. Elle est devenue Chasseuse. Le rêve de sa vie. Avec Del, son coéquipier, elle se voit investie d’une nouvelle mission : protéger l’enclave de la menace constante des Monstres anthropophages qui errent En-Dessous. Mais si Trèfle est docile, elle n’est pas aveugle. Et le courage qu’elle mettait au service de la loi qui régit la vie dans son enclave va l’entraîner à se rebeller. Car au nom de cette loi, les Anciens condamnent des innocents. Après le massacre d’une enclave voisine, Trèfle fait une découverte qui lui glace le sang : les Monstres sont devenus intelligents. Pourtant, les Anciens ignorent ses avertissements. Pire, pour la faire taire, ils s’en prennent à l’un de ses amis. Trèfle n’y tient plus. Elle prend sa défense. Mais en se dénonçant pour un crime que personne n’a commis, elle est bannie avec Del. Cet exil vaut une condamnation à mort. Malgré cela, Del va lui apprendre que les mensonges des Anciens vont encore plus loin que ce qu’elle croyait, et que l’espoir brille peut-être au bout du tunnel...

The epic conclusion to Ann Aguirre's USA Today bestselling trilogy. The horde is coming. Salvation is surrounded, monsters at the gates, and this time, they're not going away. When Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan set out, the odds are against them. But the odds have been stacked against Deuce from the moment she was born. She might not be a Huntress anymore, but she doesn't run. With her knives in hand and her companions at her side, she will not falter, whether fighting for her life or Fade's love. Ahead, the battle of a lifetime awaits. Freaks are everywhere, attacking settlements, setting up scouts, perimeters, and patrols. There hasn't been a war like this in centuries, and humans have forgotten how to stand and fight. Unless Deuce can lead them. This time, however, more than the fate of a single enclave or outpost hangs in the balance. This time, Deuce carries the banner for the survival of all humanity.

Deuce's whole world has changed. Down below, she was considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she's a brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn't fit in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight. To make matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her feelings for Fade haven't changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out. Deuce signs up to serve in the summer patrols—those who make sure the planters can work the fields without danger. It should be routine, but things have been changing on the surface, just as they did below ground. The Freaks have grown smarter. They're watching. Waiting. Planning. The monsters don't intend to let Salvation survive, and it may take a girl like Deuce to turn back the tide.
