Oops. Sorry if you got the draft copy earlier - I hit send instead of save by accident! Any way, back to exploring this planet...

And here are the books you want...

Their war. Our extinction.
The catastrophe of P3X-888 becomes a question of fate for all mankind. The enemy rises and strikes the all-destructive final blow, even before it was understood on Earth what the war is about.
In the midst of a standoff that has been going on for millennia, Nikos and Jacek stumble into a conflict far greater than they could have ever imagined. Meanwhile, the leadership back home is still clueless and unaware that mankind's doom has long since begun.

From a young couple struggling to look after their baby to a new captain's reluctance to take command of her ship, and from a sun-addled stranger's appearance in town to the emergence of a sentient AI, the twelve tales presented here explore the central theme of an arrival by someone or something new.
There's even an alien puppy.

Asa Kleve craved a life of intergalactic adventure.
Instead, she’s tasked with babysitting a group of demanding scientists on the dead planet Cozore.
But all of that changes when a rival galactic power attacks and kidnaps the scientists, leaving her for dead.
Rescued from the rubble by an alien — one long thought to be extinct — Asa makes a pact with her unexpected new ally to save both their peoples before it's too late.
This dead planet may not be so dead after all, and Asa is about to find more adventure than she ever bargained for.

A strange, glowing object lands in the forest. Tim is the only one who sees it. Venturing out to investigate, he discovers animals infected with a mysterious black growth. When he returns to his cabin, he realizes the horrifying truth: whatever disease the object brought to Earth, Tim has caught it too.
Now begins a living nightmare. Tim grows sicker, succumbs to the illness and dies—only to awaken again the next morning.
But something is wrong. Tim is no longer fully human. He's transforming into something else. Something dangerous...

When aliens arrive on Earth, the tiny town of Little Creek isn't any more prepared than the rest of the planet.
Without warning or provocation, the otherworldly creatures begin to lay waste to everything.
In the chaos that follows, an unlikely group bands together: A beauty queen with something to prove... A shopkeeper with something to hide... A shellshocked teenager set on revenge... And a world-weary veteran desperate to save them all.
As time runs out, this ragtag crew must find a way to fight back against the alien forces massing around them.
What are they? What do they want? How can they be stopped? If they fail, it won't just be Little Creek that is lost.
It will be all of humanity.

The world changed overnight... and now there is nowhere to run.
The abductions were the first sign of the invasion. Thousands of small children vanished from their beds. Meteorites hit next, choking the air with mysterious dust that had a strange effect on the dead.
They rose from their graves and hungered for the taste of flesh.
The dead were only a smokescreen for the true monsters. Creatures, not of the Earth, began to hunt the living with one purpose... eradication.
Seventeen-year-old Zoe has to fight off the dead and hide from the aliens in hopeof finding out why they are here.
The answer could kill her.

In 2017, a mysterious interstellar object transited the Solar System bound for deep space. By the time it was noticed, it had already passed Earth. It was soon forgotten, dismissed as a comet or planetary fragment. Earth’s scientists turned to more pressing matters.
But it was no mere rock. An alien spaceship looking for habitable planets, it sent a machine probe to Earth, containing a sentient quantum computer.
After crash landing in South America, the probe was found by tech billionaire Christian Becker, who used its computational power to give himself groundbreaking technology and unlimited wealth.
Until something goes wrong.
Someone hacks into and shuts down Becker's secret lab. Becker is certain that War veteran Will Logan and his missing wife, Alex, are the saboteurs. Logan is kidnapped and brought to Becker’s highly secret research campus.
But nothing is what it seems... [image error]
