Seventy-nine years of war. Six weeks of peace. One day to end it all. Corporal Kael Venn has known nothing but the Pendulum Wars. Raised in the rural dust of Tyrus, he was drafted into the COG's endless meat-grinder, losing his mother to Rustlung and his innocence to the trenches. By the time the armistice is signed, he is a hollowed-out Sergeant whose only family is his squad-and the ghosts of those he couldn't save. But the galaxy offers a fleeting, cruel hope. Kael is assigned to a diplomatic escort to Valoria Prime-a magnificent foreign city untouched by the seventy-nine-year conflict. For the first time, he tastes a life without gunpowder and grief. Yet beneath the white marble and crystal canals, ancient carvings whisper of a subterranean "Hunger." Seismic sensors scream with warnings the COG chooses to ignore. Six weeks of peace. That is all humanity gets. Emergence Day shatters the world. The Locust Horde erupts from the earth, reducing Valoria Prime to ash and drowning the farmlands in fire. One-quarter of humanity dies in twenty-six hours. Kael watches his future burn, his squad bleed, and his sister's safety hang by a thread. As the Hammer of Dawn scorches the planet and the Locust Queen reveals her terrifying human face, Kael must navigate a war of annihilation-where survival is the only victory, and the line between monster and man blurs with every casualty. From the frozen trenches of the Ostri Front to the bioluminescent Crystal Caverns of the Hollow, and into the heart of a foreign city's fall... This is not the story of heroes. This is the story of those who survived the pendulum's final swing.

In space no one can hear you scream.......with laughter and joy For 29 years a psychopathic woman has grown up with the galaxies most dangerous aliens, the Xenomorphs. Come and join me as I tell you a story about Ginny Maris and her best friend, an annoying apprentice and of course her tsundere lover. But just in case your not interested enough a visitor from the other side of the universe comes over for a nice little chat with a charming smile. The predators are on the hunt for a prize of pure insanity. I hope you all will like this wonderful story full of laughter, love and murder. WARNING: this book contains graphics scenes of gore, foul language, sexual references and dark humour, please enjoy. And heres my WARNING to all of you out there, DO NOT REPOSED ANY OF MY ART WORKS that will be featured in this book. All credit goes to the amazing artist H.R Giger for creating the xenomorphs and to Stan Winston for the predator, I do not own anything under the franchise names (Predator and Alien) or the 20th Century Studios. And all the "scientific" info in this book is a hit or miss because some of it is accurate with the aligned universe but other information is made up. But I do own the human characters and the interpretation of the predators designs in my art works and if there are spelling errors please nice and the pictures will look very janky as well.
