In The Colony, Dr. Elisa Everett makes a huge paleontology discovery on the planet of Jangala, and the next thing she knows, all of her fellow colonists are slaughtered or missing. Alexander Valerian is part of the security team already en route to Jangala and finds Elisa hiding in a ventilation shaft, gasping for air. Will they be able to figure out what happened to the colonists and get off the planet before they share the same fate?
In Fate’s Mission, warrior priest Reinn sets out on a mission to investigate a new historical discovery that could shatter everything his religious order believes in. Along the way, Fate brings him his soul mate, and Isibel’s destiny is entwined with his own. They face bombings, attempted kidnappings, and assassination attempts, and the danger only increases the closer they get to the truth.
In Stellar Affair, Ardra is kidnapped and programmed with a set of coordinates that could mean life or death for a whole planet of people, and along with that, she’s reprogrammed with memories that aren’t hers. Jack has the psychic ability to read people’s minds, and he uses this talent to try to untangle Ardra’s memories to get at the coordinates. He isn’t supposed to fall in love with her along the way.
Books I Recommend:
Lindsay Buroker's Star Nomad — has a wonderfully snarky female captain and interesting crew, with lots of action and suspense
Terminus (Fringe Worlds, #1) by Kevin Hardman – Gant Maker is a bit like a sci-fi Jack Reacher, and his companion, Erlen, makes this a fun read
Flare Shifter (T'nari Renegades–Pleiadian Cycle, Prequel Novella) by Erin MacMichael – too much insta-love as far as the romance goes, but the alien races are interesting, and the story focuses on life for a conquered and occupied people.
Claimings, Tails, and Other Alien Artifacts (Claimings #1) and the rest of the Claimings series by Lyn Gala – if you’re fine with a couple of spicy m/m love scenes, Lyn Gala does a fantastic job of creating an entire alien culture and makes the reader look at our own human cultures in a new light.
Prophecy (Prophecy #1) by Lea Kirk – although this book could have been edited better, the beginning catches the reader right away, and it’s nice to see an alien race that isn’t entirely homogenous and united.
