Fleeing a life of abuse, Sheri climbs aboard a mail-order mate spaceship bound for a distant station, but never arrives… Fate intervenes and her trip takes a quick, deadly turn when she crashes on the planet Atera. She’s surrounded by endless sand dunes, dangerous creatures, and alien beings that remind her of Earth lizards. But one particular lizard hardly leaves her thoughts—a sexy, two legged, muscular male bent on protecting and caring for her at all costs. Drazan is a fierce warrior, the strongest Ateran of the Red Sands, he rules his dunes with an iron fist and sharp sword, and is honor bound to face all challengers to his position. During one of these battles something… strange… happens. Fire rains from the skies and a strange black metal box filled with females crashes to the sands. All thoughts of fighting are lost to the allure of these odd humans—especially one deliciously curvy female who stirs his blood. Now he finds himself with dark yearnings, strong need, and a hardness between his legs that he’s never used before. With Sheri consuming his thoughts, Drazan may have forgotten about his last challenge but his opponent’s brother hasn’t. Now he’s determined to see Drazan suffer… even if that means killing Sheri.

Book excerpt: She doesn’t belong on Atera no matter what the hottie lizardman may say… Nothing in Kalinda’s plans includes crash-landing on a backwards sand planet full of lizard-aliens. But when she spots Warlord Nakan, she’s willing to take a little detour. He’s a sexy, muscular scaled creature that she wouldn’t mind… studying. But no matter how interested she is, and no matter how much he lights her up inside, she’s determined to get off his godforsaken planet. Nakan is busy caring for his tribe and fighting off challengers to his position as Warlord of the Hard Sands. A mate? And an alien human female, at that? No, he has other responsibilities that need his attention. Kalinda of Earth can’t be for him. It does not matter that her curves stir his blood like she’s his true mate. But if Nakan won’t have her, his enemies will. Too bad for them that the Warlord of the Hard Sands doesn’t share. He’ll have to find a way to claim his mate and hold his position, or he’ll lose everything: his woman, his tribe, his territory... and his life.

Book excerpt: It is often said that the greatest journeys begin with a single step. And in the case of a formerly great author, living in the fallen remains of Communist Russia, it is the discovery of a long-abandoned and partial manuscript, that starts a grand voyage, into life, death, and all things in-between. Zoyzuban, a science-fiction scribe, whose work benefited from the Soviet Union's existence, was in search of an answer, to further his career, to return to the pinnacle of his previous glory. Upon finding early work from the Sixties, he decides to use his talent and accumulated experience, to revise and rebuild the novel he started long ago. Teaming up with a former Cosmonaut, one who walked the surfaces of the Moon and Mars, the two collaborate, and combine their talents and memories. A story is told, a world generated, and a journey in three parts begins...

Book excerpt: STEAMY HOT SCI-FI ALIEN ROMANCE COLLECTION 5 Standalone Romance Short Stories With No Cliffhanger Cyborg Heart Sometimes being broken makes you come back stronger! Reilly MacAllister is a scientist that has just made a breakthrough that will change the world forever. To her shock, this makes her a prime target in a sudden, brutal alien invasion of the Earth. With Maksim, a rough-edged, cybernetically-enhanced mercenary to protect her, she must do whatever it takes to escape the rapidly advancing alien forces so she can get her all-important data into the right hands. Can she survive the ruin of America's capital? Is there still a chance to save herself and humanity? And which is truly the greater danger, the inhuman hordes or the fascinating darkness she sees lurking beneath her bodyguard's eyes? Precious Cargo Captain Leticia “Tish” Williams doesn’t pick up passengers but when Fleet U’rbech, a handsome blue-skinned alien, makes her an offer she can’t refuse, Tish finds herself with a companion who might be more trouble than he’s worth. Captain Leticia “Tish” Williams is a down-on-her-luck freighter pilot, stubbornly holding onto her father’s cargo ship while her fiancé, a high ranking officer in the Intergalactic Alliance, begs her to give it up and get a good, steady government job. Tish’s life gets only more complicated when she picks up a passenger, Dr. Fleet U’rbech—a sexy, blue-skinned alien with a secret—he is number one on the Intergalactic Alliance’s most wanted list. Tish and Fleet have to flee across the galaxy on a mission to save his home planet, dodging asteroids, IG ships and an indescribable attraction that becomes more and more electric as they near Fleet’s home planet. Can Tish deliver her cargo and passenger without succumbing to his alien charms? Cyborg Love All the cyborgs want is the chance to live, but they have to fight for it. Cyborgs aren’t meant to live. They’re monsters, created by the Government to fight. When they went wrong, they should have been killed there and then... Eve hates the cyborg army because they killed her brother. She doesn’t care that they’ve got a consciousness; she doesn't consider them human. They shouldn’t be here anymore. However, her path for revenge leads her to the very hot Javier, a cyborg that teaches her she isn’t always right. As he takes her on a journey she wasn’t expecting, she learns that maybe she hasn’t ever been supporting the right side. As more shocks and secrets are revealed, she recognizes the world needs a massive change, and that she might have to help make that change come about. Taken by the Aliens Young, beautiful Tessa Sealand goes into space to find adventure. As a stowaway in a space carrier she is apprehended as soon as she reaches Station One, on the farthest Edge of human known space. She is arrested and put into the brig. From there things can only go up. Released from the brig and working at a lowly perfume stall, she becomes embroiled in an altercation that threatens the security of Station One, and could have intergalactic repercussions! When it starts looking like dangerous terrorists are trying to kill her she has the bad timing to fall in love with not one, but two aliens! She had not been looking for love, but cannot help how she feels. As the danger deepens and her relationship with the two aliens deepens, she begins to wonder whether she will live to explore the new reaches of her heart. Well, Tessa has always believed that space is filled with possibilities. She now has possibilities! Her Cyborg Heroes Robyn is a woman of medicine with a heart seeking companionship. She had no idea she would find her love in two cyborg men who become much more than the heroes of her heart! Meeting and dating two handsome and intelligent men changed Dr. Robyn Atkinson’s view of relationships. But waking up the next morning with two consorts wasn't the only surprise that day. She would be thrust into the heat of an alien attack, one that would shape the future of humanity—and the future of their relationship. Would they be able to survive this invasion together, or would it ultimately destroy the very delicate foundation they were attempting to build?

Book excerpt: To protect the ones they love, they must first learn to trust each other.The ketaurran war might be over, but it doesn't mean the humans are safe. The work Cara does for the rebels is dangerous, but she likes what she does, and the independence it offers. Although her last mission was a success, it came with a deadly price. The mercenary she crossed wants her dead and is willing to pay a large bounty for the privilege.Contrary to what the ruler of the planet thinks, the last thing Cara wants or needs is a bodyguard. Not only is Zaedon an elite warrior, but he's all kinds of hot. If ever there was a male she could fall for, it would be him. Too bad their first encounter didn't go well, and the male's idea of fun is being overprotective and continually finding ways to annoy her. Zaedon takes his role as guardian to his people's leader seriously, the vow to protect Cara with his life even more so. The first time she taunts him with her alluring scent, he knows she is his mate-a fact he can't share unless he wants to lose the infuriating female forever.

Book excerpt: “Miss Meimi is indeed a transcendent,” says Father. “But we differ on a single point, son. SHE’S MINE.” A Prince Of No Value On planet Umbra, Thorne is known as the weak prince, extra brother and human-shaped punching bag for his father, Cole, Emperor of the Omniverse. Thorne never expected to find his transcendent soul mate. But when the prince connects with Meimi Archer, the human girl becomes Thorne’s transcendent and his world… …until Cole decides to abduct her. Now the prince of no value will do anything to protect what’s most precious. Meimi. A Girl Geek With A Problem Science prodigy Meimi Archer attends ECHO Academy, an elite high school located under Earth’s Boston Dome. That part is cool. Then she finds herself separated from her boyfriend, Thorne, due to a supposedly unbreakable exile void. Not okay. Meimi pulls together a band of classmates and misfits. Her goal? Break through the exile void. Her problem? Headmaster Conway, the man who runs ECHO Academy. Conway wants to use Meimi’s exile void annihilator for an invasion of Umbra. Meh. Meimi’s not worried--she’ll take the Headmaster down while still reuniting with Thorne, easy peasy. Only trouble is, who’s that shadowy figure following Meimi everywhere? And why does it feel like Umbra may actually be invading Earth somehow? In ECHO Academy, secrets are revealed, plots uncovered, and transcendence is only a few pages away. Don’t miss this jam-packed adventure of 40,000+ words. “If you like books set in a dystopian futuristic society then you are going to LOVE the Dimension Drift series.” – The Avid Reader ***Special edition with a new appendix of extras*** Dimension Drift Series 1.

Book excerpt: We are not alone in the universe…and the aliens have a list of humans they want to meet Ashley V, a disgraced actress, has a list too. 1. Masquerade as one of the scientists invited to the first ever alien/human summit 2. Dazzle everyone at alien cocktail hour (or equivalent) 3. Come home to publicity buzz and get my career back Except once the humans arrive on the distant planet, the alien in charge is unsympathetic, unemotional, and uninterested in an actress. He sentences Ashley to die for the crime of not being a genius. But when his own people turn on him, he winds up in the cell next door and before Ashley can blink, they’ve accidentally linked their minds together. That was not on her list. Being able to read the mind of her fellow inmate, whom she dubs Sam (because his alien name is ridiculous), means they can work together to escape. Sure it’s icky to be forced to let an alien read her mind in kind. Only he’s not quite who she thought he was…or who he thought he was. No secret is safe, especially not their growing attraction to each other. But some secrets are too big to be kept, and when the mysterious origins of Sam’s people come to light, the alien king will stop at nothing to silence them. Mindlinking with an alien is suddenly not the worst thing that can happen on a planet far from home, and trusting a male of any species is not in Ashley’s skill set. Too bad their survival depends on it. keywords: futuristic romance, genetic engineering, alien romance, alien first contact, alien planet, SFR, alpha hero, forced proximity, adventure romance

Can they stop an unknown force from suffering total annihilation and save the souls of billions of enslaved people before all is lost?

This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides students and other interested readers with a comprehensive survey of science fiction history and numerous essays addressing major science fiction topics, authors, works, and subgenres written by a distinguished scholar. This encyclopedia deals with written science fiction in all of its forms, not only novels and short stories but also mediums often ignored in other reference books, such as plays, poems, comic books, and graphic novels. Some science fiction films, television programs, and video games are also mentioned, particularly when they are relevant to written texts. Its focus is on science fiction in the English language, though due attention is given to international authors whose works have been frequently translated into English. Since science fiction became a recognized genre and greatly expanded in the 20th century, works published in the 20th and 21st centuries are most frequently discussed, though important earlier works are not neglected. The texts are designed to be helpful to numerous readers, ranging from students first encountering science fiction to experienced scholars in the field.
