OK, I'm sure you've seen countless versions of this meme, but that's kind of the idea!

I am so glad that I live in the countryside in a house with a decent garden. I really feel for those stuck in city flats, unable to go out. My eldest daughter wanted to do her bit, so has started a nature blog to keep people in touch with what is going on in the world around them. You can see it at https://wellynature.tumblr.com.
So, with more people needing things to keep them occupied, time to panic-buy ebooks!

For nearly twenty years Earth's space exploration had exploded outward, thanks to a series of mysterious, artificial wormholes. No one knows who created these interstellar passages, yet they have brought the far reaches of space immediately close. For Starplex Director Keith Lansing, too close.

In a galaxy torn apart by generations of civil war, that isn't an easy task.

My name is Rachel. I died and rose again.
I was an ordinary high school girl when a viral plague spread across my planet. Those that died rose again as mindless zombies. Fortunately, science came to the rescue and gave me back my mind.

Now, as an elite undead killing machine, I must make a choice. Allegiance to my kind or to the Federation. Choose wrong and I could die... for good.

At least they're primates.
That was Commander Riniana Tiana's first thought when she saw the primitive - but sentient - humans of Earth.

After all, her own species is primatal too.

But humans don't have tails.
And she finds most of them seem extremely jealous of hers!
Using the curious custom of clothing, Tiana hides her tail, passes for human and pursues the alien invaders in a desperate struggle to save an ungrateful planet.

When an unidentified vessel appears beyond Jupiter, both Earth and Mars begin a frantic race to claim it, aware that whichever planet succeeds might in so doing achieve advantage over the other. But who should they send?
Joe Falcon would never consider himself the ‘right’ person. Drifting around the Asteroid Belt in a converted freighter, working as a surveyor and miner with a crew of oddballs and misfits who, like himself, are running away each from his or her own private demons, he cannot think of a single good reason why he should be the chosen one. But how could he not go?

Then humanity learns that this wondrous spacecraft is not their real problem.
Never would Joe have imagined it would fall to him to make the decision that would alter the destiny of two worlds, launching humankind onto the path to a glorious future, or to extinction.
