Miranda's boss has asked the impossible of her reporters: find a story worthy of the front page or lose your job.  She vows she's going to try her best.  Per her boss's suggestion, she takes a walk downtown to see what she can see.  She has no idea it will change her life forever.

David is from the planet Alura and a part of a law enforcement group called Division X.  He's a Watcher, one who guards the maximum-security prison, Faltraxa.  When a prisoner, responsible for two counts of genocide, escapes, he goes after him.  The prisoner's destination?  Earth.

When they first meet, Miranda witnesses something amazing and unexplainable, a stroke of luck.  This would sell stories.  David is mortified when he finds out she saw him using his alien powers and is terrified he'll be exposed.  He doesn't have time to deal with anything or anyone but Quasar.  Nevertheless, they end up working together.

The more time they spend together, the closer they become.  There's nothing like a hunt for a killer to a spark a little intergalactic romance.

[COMPLETED] War. Sacrifice. Two inevitabilities of human nature come together once more as the human race encounters its latest Great Filter. The Covenant. A genocidal alien alliance hell-bent on the utter destruction of man-kind. A theocratic society convinced that humanity is the only thing standing in its way between eternal damnation, and ascension to godliness. As humanity quickly realizes they're outmanned, outmatched, and outgunned they call on the young and vibrant to defend their way of life. Joseph Gray. An ordinary young man living an ordinary life finds his society crumbling apart at the seams due to an ever-intensifying plague of insurrection that seems to spread faster than it can be quelled. After joining the Marines to make a difference, to bring stability to his society, he soon realizes that he's no more than a minuscule cog in a very large machine. Harvest. A major farming colony at the edge of UNSC-controlled space goes offline. Just as Gray thinks he'll coast out his short-term service in the Corps, tragedy strikes, and a new player enters the field. Now Gray must desperately juggle the responsibilities of maintaining his relationship with the girl of his dreams, raising a future family, surviving the Covenant onslaught, and most of all: Keeping his humanity. The Covenant doesn't play by the rules in their quest to exterminate humanity, and as the UNSC grows desperate, Gray's world will be rocked time and time again. ***Warning: Mature Content*** Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Halo.

EVEN DEATH DIES, women's thriller in a dystopia. Controlling all the minds makes Dax the perfect easy prey. She knows it and doesn't let anyone get too close to her family. One night, her twins are strangely blasted; Telio resurrected but needs a new heart. The army can supply this artificial implant but its colonel wants to know her secrets and control them. Because of dangerously quantum apps, a pandemic of fatal neurodegenerative diseases had killed almost all the population. People are now forced to wear a quantum membrane placed directly on the brain to care for it, the topcortex. This membrane allows government to exploit them and reduce them to their work, treated as nothing more than a set of arms. Dax is in charge of the configuration of the topcortex. The army produces the implants which are its main source of income. Dax is very brave and selfless. She tries to reduce the award procedure to people to free them. If she succeeds, this can annihilate the army. Its chief Colonel Monarc needs to neutralize Dax. To reach his objective, Monarc destroys experimental results, aspirates thoughts of the ruling class with his topcortex, kills a famous astronaut and destroys his heart given to replace Telio's. Monarc wants to impose on Dax an artificial heart for Telio. By controlling the cardiac implant of Telio, Monarc will dominate Dax. Dax changes the rules of the game and will pay the ultimate sacrifice even if she unveils her secret. EVEN DEATH DIES is a thriller that unfolds in Resurgence, a totalitarian and theocratic state that has replaced the United States of America.

Killing-that's all he ever thinks about. . .there is an imposter on the ship who thinks he can save humanity by killing them. But how can he easily eradicate the human species? The quick answer: a biological weapon-alien if you will-that feeds off of human flesh. ***** After Taylor's home is destroyed on Titan (a habitable moon orbiting Saturn), he is forced to leave the only place he has known. However, during his travels, he stumbles upon government information explaining a declaration of war if Artemis Watson is not returned to its rightful owner. . . Artemis Watson, however, is an Android capable of human feelings (but his father, Doctor Peter Watson, does not know of his human capabilities). Soon, when a virus infects Artemis, he begins producing a biological weapon from his studies- -years before, a civil war broke out on Mars. Artemis discovered genetic mutants-aliens- stored in a warehouse on the outskirts of the war zone and since then has been working toward an evolutionary breakthrough. He is curious, but curiosity eventually killed the cat if not everyone. Cover: Evelyn @mortifero- (so far my absolute favorite cover)
