EarthCent Auxiliaries #7
Earth on the Galactic Tunnel Network
Before Earth can move forward, it needs to get over its past
Earth is making a comeback, fueled by alien commerce, moonlighting Vergallian princesses, and well-heeled retirees returning from multi-decade labor contracts on the worlds of the advanced species. But change isn’t easy, and even the best intentions aren’t enough to overcome the low self-esteem holding back humanity, unless…
Semmi, the Tyrellian gryphon is back, and this time she’s serious. Together with Myort, the trickster dragon variant who could sell salt-water to the ocean, and a cadre of local alien intelligence agents posing as inter-species police, they’re pushing to return Earth to the center of gravity for the human diaspora.
John, an EarthCent Intelligence agent, and his wife Ellen, the Earth coordinator for the Galactic Free Press, have their parts to play, along with their foundling teens, Marco and Fiona. Larry Phil’s son represents the startup Human Empire while his wife Georgia freelances for the Galactic Free Press, and her mother Janice, the right-hand lady-in-waiting of Princess Aazil does her best to straighten out the mess. But will it be enough?

About the author
E.M. Foner
59 books246 followersI wrote Date Night on Union Station while taking a break from work on a science fiction epic I've been struggling with for years. The goal was to cheer myself up and to find out if there is still an audience for a science fiction comedy that gets its laughs from dialogue and funny situations rather than from gross-outs and shocks. As many readers have pointed out, the EarthCent series could be rated PG under the old fashioned system, no bloodshed, no graphic sex, no four letter words. And after years of imagining a galaxy for my epic in which multiple human civilizations are at war with each other, it did me a world of good to write about a galaxy where most people are just trying to make a living and find some joy in life. I received so many requests to extend the Date Night universe into a series that I put aside my epic for an extended period to write a sequel, Alien Night on Union Station. The events take place five years after the conclusion of Date Night, and the plot involves a mix of business, diplomacy, gaming and family relations. As a bonus, we finally get to meet Kelly's mother. After the positive response to Alien Night, I wrote a third book for the series, High Priest of Union Station, which is currently in the editing stage and due out in mid-October. I just started a book that extends the EarthCent galaxy with a different mission and cast of characters, though they may intersect at some point.

Another fun and intriguing book in the tunnel network series
First off, I'd like to thank the author in providing some reminders of the connections between this huge universe of characters. It's easy to lose track of who's whoin this large universe of stories and characters from one book to the next, For the rest of you, go start at the begining, I can't begin to explain what these well thought out and charming books are about.

Future Earth, aliens, heart and hope plus fun
This book delivers on a future where aliens scheme and plan, but usually with good intentions towards the fragile humans with their short life spans. All species thrive with prodding in the right direction so long as their self esteem is high. The princesses have a plan.
EM Foner writes relatable stories based on traits common not to just humans so it seems. Thoroughly enjoyed this book

Book 7 in the series
An interesting mix of Earth and alien species interacting with each other about governance, economics, intellectual property rights, living on the streets, and other issues. Set on Earth with a very diverse range of characters. Semmi, Marco, and Fiona are featured along with Larry, Georgia, and Nechama. A great story.

A great antidote for a rough week
The last few years have presented a lot of challenges, and this author has done their part to keep me laughing through them. The aliens are out there, and they are just as ridiculous and crazy as humans!

another great one
I have read every one of these books, some more than once. I will pre-purchase A Fine Occupation as soon as it becomes available.

Family worthy entertainment
Really fun story to read from beginning to end. It is a fantasy world that relaxes for me all the stress I get from the daily news.
