[Book 3 of the ARC10 Trilogy] It has been five Earth years since the ten Alien Relocation Carriers (ARCs) abandoned their destroyed home planet. According to the plan, they should be approaching their final destination-the exoplanet NOHA. But Janika Lorn wouldn't know anything about that. She ditched her commanding position aboard ARC10 and the ARC caravan in exchange for a life of freedom under the often-infuriating employment of Captain Shin-Hyun Moon. With her young son and a burgeoning found family aboard the HMS Valediction, Janika finally eases into a happy life she never thought she could have.

Her peace is disrupted by a mysterious SOS from Commander Dean Freyer, her previous partner, lover, and best friend on Earth. Despite the threat of losing all she's gained, she's sucked back into the ARCs' mission to expose the government's deadly lies. This time, instead of diving head-first without a plan, Janika concocts a scheme to steal away the entire refugee population and bring them aboard the floating fortress, the Starhold Vesta. With her partner, Nuna Kinnawah at her side, and her son safely stowed away in their home, Janika leads a mission to save the people of Earth from their forsaken fate at the hands of an inept president protected by a new, secret, lethal army, and an inhospitable new home planet. 

As if this mission wasn't already off to a doomed beginning, the violent space pirate, Strom, sets his greedy sights on commandeering the gold trade that keeps the HMS Valediction and Stronghold Vesta floating. With this new threat of bloodshed to her family and livelihood, Janika's must decide between saving her father and the people of her past, or securing the safety of her son and the future she had always dreamed of.

1. In the distant future, Earth is ruled by a newly born intelligence of technology, reducing humanity to a mere adjunct. To begin anew, the "Kunpeng" sets off into the vast cosmos, carrying the Nuwa System designed to reboot civilization. "Elemental Magnetic Star," this planet with its complex geography and intense electromagnetic radiation, already home to indigenous life, could it become humanity's final haven? 2. "The moon is orange-red today," Flicker Shadow said, "An orange-red moon signifies the time of our agreement. If she decides to go to the Free People's Tribe, I'll wait for her nearby." Raina Grace looked up at Flame Wave, who was lost in thought. He was slightly bowing his head, his usually impassive and strong brows furrowed in a rare sign of indecision; not quite the unflappable, powerful Silver Sect wizard he usually was.

He lifted his head, their eyes met, and they understood each other's intentions. 3. It's undeniable, these were the most beautiful and clear eyes Flame Wave had ever seen. Cold and light blue, they shone brighter than stars, wider than the heavens. At this moment, these captivating eyes conveyed apologies, regrets, and determination.

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez
