Humans have been forced by sheer numbers to migrate to a new galaxy with multiple habitable planets. Here, they find themselves surrounded by humanoid aliens, the Varangians, who thrive on extremely cold planets. Not direct competitors, the two races watch one another warily and after five hundred years agree on a mutually beneficial trade treaty. At first, all is well, but then three Varangians disappear in human territory. The Varangians turn to half-Varangian Commodore Nimrod Ekeroth, who heads the human environmental fleet. Now he must find out who is disappearing both Varangians and humans and troubling the alliance.

Book Description
Ex-Park Chief Ranger Henry Shore has had his share of adventures and trials. But for many years he had a good life with his wife, Ann, and his daughter, Laura, being Chief Ranger at Crater Lake National Park. His life was perfect. Then the dinosaurs came. With his rangers, he fought the prehistoric beasts for years in his park; while outside the world also battled the malevolent creatures. He had one friend among the dinosaurs, little Oscar, who helped him, and the other humans, to fight and survive the dinosaur wars; during them he lost his daughter. These days Henry is recovering from the loss of his beloved wife, Ann, and trying to find purpose in his new lonely life. The year before he’d been temporarily rescued from that sorrow by being drafted, as a renowned dinosaur hunter and expert, to help track down some of the last remaining rogue dinosaurs in the country, and then later, two of the wilier creatures loose and causing havoc at the government’s secret Area 52. Area 52, where two mysterious ancient alien spaceships were housed and examined by a team of our scientists. Alien ships somehow suspected of being connected to the world’s previous dinosaur scourge because of the ancient dinosaur DNA discovered in their labs. That assignment ended abruptly for Henry when the two alien aircrafts mysteriously vanished. Now Henry is home again, and at loose ends. But when so many new menacing extraterrestrial spacecrafts begin to appear in Earth’s air spaces, and the alien abductions multiply, Henry is drafted yet again to help. For fear has rapidly spread across the world as more and more alien airships are sighted everywhere. Why are so many alien ships suddenly harassing our planet, and what do they want? It won’t take long before the world, with Henry and an old friend’s help, find out. Then they have to figure out how to appease the aliens, or the Earth could be doomed.

Book Description
Air Force Captain Rob Wallace, test pilot at the US Air Force Flight Test Center, California, is flying back to Edwards late one afternoon when he sees a Flying Saucer headed towards Groom Lake. It disappears at an incredibly high rate of acceleration. Remembering that no reports of sightings have ever included seeing any jet or rocket exhaust or burned grass, he ponders what propulsion systems could do that He figures that perhaps these space ships are driven by Gravitational Drives utilizing the huge gravity of the super massive black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and influenced by the weaker gravities of its orbiting stars and even lesser gravity of its planets. Gravitational propulsion is why the saucers are silent, show no exhaust, and can accelerate so quickly without harming the crews. When he tells his ideas to his superiors at Edwards, they realize that he is correct, and send him to their top secret (actually 'Black Facility') Area 51 at Groom Lake, Nevada, which Edwards administers. At Area 51, he discovers that an alliance has been formed with the Grey Aliens from planet Kepler-435b. When a UFO crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, American scientists wanted to dissect the bodies to study them, but wiser heads prevailed. Contact was established with the Greys in order to return the bodies for proper care. This established the trust that resulted in an alliance between the Greys and Americans. At Area 51 he becomes part of the alliance to meld Earth and Alien technologies, comprising US, German, English, Australia, French, Japan, Israeli, India, and Alien scientists.But then he discovers that their planet, older than Earth, may be dying, and they are secretly plotting to mass colonize the Earth. If so, would they become the colonists and we humans become the Indians?

Book Description
Melody has an answer, now, but to a question she never asked—a question she never imagined asking. And the whole world has seen what she has seen. Uncovering the truth is not the same as victory, though. She and her boyfriend remain on the run, in hiding from assassins and government conspirators, while the world comes to terms with its new reality. People and governments pick sides, and war begins to spread. Meanwhile, the mystery of the great AI remains. Melody and her allies refocus their efforts and restart the project to uncover the AI’s secrets. They try their best to keep the new operation hidden as the world crumbles, but their enemy is too powerful, its resources too great. When the attack comes, Melody learns the true cost of her convictions. Then she learns that she is able to pay it, and keep fighting. She is changing, now, becoming something new, a person she does not recognize. The few relationships she still has are fragmenting as she gives everything to the mission. Gone are her old comforts, replaced by the comfort of a gun, and the need to be stronger—physically stronger than she has ever been, especially when she finds herself trapped behind enemy lines. Nor is Melody the only one paying a price for conviction. Casualties are beginning to mount, the enemy is strong, and a key ally may be dying. Despite all the loss, though, the attacks and setbacks, Melody’s team is making progress, with the aid of the world’s coders and hackers. What is the purpose of the mysterious AI embedded in the global Internet? What is it doing? What is it looking for? Just a little more time is all they need, to deploy their new software on the most powerful supercomputers around the world, in hopes that they will be able to unlock the secrets of the AI. Their last hope is that if they can learn about the AI, they may learn something that will help them in the fight against an otherwise invincible enemy, before it’s too late.
