The Earth Space Force Military has a problem. Something so dangerous that they need the ultimate distraction. A way to keep all the news stations away from it. They need them to focus on it rather than the massive alien ‘thing’ being lowered into a pit in the desert near Area 51. They have decided that Keith and nine of his crew will be that distraction. They choose to drop off Keith, the hero starship captain, and a bunch of alien women off at Comic-Con for a surprise appearance. That is one of their problems. They also encounter several new and very dangerous alien races and must deal...

Ben, Chloe, Mark, and the others are off on another adventure, back where they had just stopped one interplanetary war. Now, they are searching for the mystery ship. What could it be up to? They rescue two new beings, but things go awry as their planet doesn't even want them back. Then they discover some more refugees, only some are not what they claim to be, and they land in the middle of another war, all while planning a wedding between Meera and Dylan. After that, the ship finds a derelict that looks like it came out of a 1950s campy movie, only one that someone shot full of holes.

On Mars, Jason had stumbled across the escape pod to a 3,500-year-old derelict spacecraft. The AI for the ship then informed Jason that due to him having some traces of alien DNA, he was now the Captain of a massive alien Starship. That 'should' have been good news. Except that most of the Mars and Earth government agencies had different ideas about the alien ship. And the ships AI, having been derelict for centuries... It now has some issues... But the real problem was that Jason's DNA had an additional trait that shouldn't be there... The last time anyone had one of the forbidden DNA ...

Kaylee Green was an Illegal Alien, one that had traveled 45.7 light-years to get away from her pursuers. A race that wanted to exterminate her kind. Not only was she an alien, but she was not entirely biological. Now, she was enjoying life as a human. She had recently graduated college and was happily living with her human boyfriend. Then the police show up asking about a severed hand from a six-year-old cold-case investigation. They want to know why her fingerprints and DNA both match the hand. She was trying hard not to panic. Her carefully crafted false identity was rapidly falling apart...

This is the humorous misadventures of Steve White, who was taking a stroll and looking out over a small pond to see if any of the turtles were out. When suddenly, he finds himself over 400 light-years away. Surrounded by strange aliens and desperately trying to find a way out of this impossible situation. He "fakes it” and accepts the role of the Earth Ambassador to the Pathless, the somewhat insectoid partial humanoid 4-sexed race he now finds himself with. His goal is to return to the Earth. Their goal is much harder to understand. They want him to be the trade ambassador. But what do ...

Ben, Chloe, Mark, and the others are off on another adventure, one in which they stumble across another war out in the depths of space. But, this time, there are no obvious good aliens and bad aliens, and things are not going their way. One encounter somehow morphs into a Cozy Alien Murder Mystery. Another involves a race composed of potentially poisonous toxic material that can shape shift. Then, they encounter even more aliens, and nothing is what it seems. The clues are there, but one wrong step, and there will be more dead aliens and possibly dead humans.

The crew of the Stardust III plans to enter the portal and explore the source of the mysterious radio beacon in the M33 galaxy. On their way there, they discover ships full of refugees fleeing one disaster, only to be heading into another. Then, they are almost ready to enter the portal, when survivors, displaced from Earth, are discovered in a place where it is impossible for them to be. Finally, fully equipped, well-armed, and with a small fleet of ships, they enter M33…Only to discover that not all answers are what you want to hear, and that one race is attacking the damaged ships…

Many felt blocked by the Property & Casualty exam — dense with technical definitions, policy forms, and tricky distinctions. From my experience, almost 80% of candidates who struggle do so not because of lack of effort, but because they try to memorize instead of understanding the logic behind the material. That’s the real challenge: it’s not about intelligence, it’s about structure. With the right step-by-step method, everything becomes clear, logical, and easy to retain — no more endless, confusing manuals.

Benjamin, Chloe, Mark, and Kibbiea are off on a new adventure, much further away than anyone has ever traveled before. They are heading out to identify the source of a mysterious signal they detected. They also now have three instances of Mee Keralatazaku to deal with: Anya Fathi, the newest instance; Kera Prime, the original 2,000-year-old version; and Meera Fathi, Anya's human clone. When they reach the distant area of space, they find not one but three different races: one whose looks are terrifying, one whose current actions are horrible, and one that has accidentally opened a worse ...

The modern gods are gone; they have been removed from power by the old gods. The old gods are back: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Roman, Hindu, Aztec, Celtic, Japanese, Chinese, Babylonian, and many others. The first thing they do is kill off over 1 billion people who have been judged as Evil. They also eliminate the weapons of all of the militaries, all nuclear power fuel, and waste. Gordon Anderson was a clerk at a 7-11, and he was (as usual) late for work. That is suddenly the least of his problems. The world is changing; everything is in turmoil. However, the most disturbing fact may be that ...

In the first book, On Mars, Jason stumbled across the escape pod to a 3,500-year-old derelict spacecraft. The AI for the ship then informed Jason that he was now the Captain of a massive alien Starship due to him having traces of alien DNA. That 'should' have been good news. But the bad news was that Jason's DNA has an additional trait, one that shouldn't be there... The last time anyone had one of the forbidden DNA traits, it started the war that left the ship derelict. To fight the aliens that want him dead, Jason must become something from their nightmares... The second book starts with ...

This story is about someone who is just a "normal" college girl. Well, maybe not "completely normal."... It's not like she is the most powerful living weapon ever created... It's not like she carries what is effectively a nuclear weapon in the holster she wears... It's not like she is an Evil Galactic Overlord... Or is it? I always knew my birth parents had to be complete assholes; why else would they name me something horrible like Vladimira Darkness. Now that I am in college, I go by the nickname Mira. Then, a bunch of these heavily armed men-in-black types showed up and made me come with...

Thirteen bibliomysteries by best-selling and award-winning authors are contained in this first of volume of a must-listen collection.

This book introduces the ‘Scattered Worlds’ universe, where an alien race, the Lenovians, performed what should have been a normal “weapons test." However, their experiment went disastrously wrong, creating thousands of scattered worlds, as if someone had blended them all and then randomly pieced them back together. Jake Anderson was on his way to a night class at UNH when his car unexpectedly crashed into an impossible wall of snow beside a pool of lava. He now finds himself in a chaotic world, a blend of vastly different environments. Walking just under a thousand yards in any ...

Jake’s commute home takes an unexpected detour, leaving him stranded on a completely different planet. He soon finds himself in a high-tech hospital in a world populated by strange alien races. However, the new world is not your standard Isekai story. These are not the cliché cute monster girls or the generic characters that look like they were borrowed from a video game. In this world, he is the primitive, has no magic or cheat abilities, and has no clue what will happen. Jake tries to learn to live in the new world but discovers that not everything is what it seems.

Brian Long awakens in a strange and unfamiliar world. He has no idea how he ended up in the body he now inhabits. In the world he finds himself in, the females are all biologically mute and are heavily oppressed, living in a state of abject slavery. Most males consider females to be just slightly more intelligent than cattle. There are about eight women for every male. He now faces a moral dilemma: should he take the easy route and accept the happy harem world he now finds himself in, or should he choose the much harder and potentially far more dangerous path to try to repair an obviously ...

Jerry Anderson was an astronaut faced with an impossible choice: die of asphyxiation in a few hours or see if the alien pod he was transporting really was an escape pod and find out if it could actually save him. When he enters it, he finds that the controls are unreadable, lacking anything to go on, and rapidly running out of air. He presses the blinking green button. The next thing he knows, he isn’t human anymore, and he finds himself on a seashore, next to some birds feasting on a body that looks very similar to his new body. He is alive, but staying alive will be a challenge, and he ...

Logan Russel finds himself transported to a different world. Now, as Lord Green, the Sage of Power, he is granted ridiculously over-the-top powerful magic. The problem is (there always has to be a catch) that his life depends on the whims of a sketchy god, and to stay alive, he must uphold "the green flag." Unfortunately, the god never told him what the "green flag" was. He must also avoid actions that raise either a "black flag" or a "red flag." But, again, the god neglected to inform him of what those were... There are many things they could be. As his humorous adventure continues, he ...
