The Martian Alliance #3
A Bug's Life
Is the cost of a few innocent lives worth risking everything?
When the crew of the Hummingbird discovers Pilla Colony recently destroyed by the Diamante Families, they’re faced with the smart choice of leaving or the dangerous one of searching for survivors – and Roy and DeeDee aren’t in agreement about their course of action. But the real question is – why would anyone be going out of their way to destroy the most helpless, fragile, and noncombative race in the galaxy?

About the author
Gini Koch
83 books915 followersGini Koch started writing in the American Southwest as something to do in between staring at pictures of good-looking leading men, but now sweats out the words, both literally and figuratively, in Hotlanta and dreams of dry heat.
She’s best known for her award-winning Alien/Katherine “Kitty” Katt series formerly from DAW Books and now with Ginger Blue Publishing, which started with Touched by an Alien and has seventeen books and one collection out currently, with eighteen through twenty-two on the way.
Gini’s made the most of multiple personality disorder by writing under a variety of other pen names as well, including G.J. Koch (the Alexander Outland series), Anita Ensal (The Belters Series, A Cup of Joe), Jemma Chase (The Disciple and Other Stories of the Paranormal), A.E. Stanton (the New West Series and the Legend of Belladonna series), and J.C. Koch, all with stories featured in excellent anthologies, available now and upcoming. She’s expanded the fun by writing mysteries with co-writer Bebe Bayliss (the Fall’s Girl Mysteries and the Santa Paloma Mysteries).
No matter what length – from science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, space opera, urban fantasy, horror, mystery, thriller, dystopian, Westerns, romantic suspense, and more – if it’s genre, she writes it.
She’s an avid follower of pop culture, comics, and anything and everything animated. She’s still inspired mostly by good-looking leading men (particularly her husband) and driven to keep her Canine Death Squad and Killer Kitties in kibble and treats.

The crew of the Hummingbird find the remains of a shattered generations ship from the Pillar, a seemingly benign alien race persecuted by the current galaxy's rulers. The resident shapeshifter discovers that the Pillar are empaths in their child state and seeks to protect the few remaining children from destruction. Another nice entry in this short series, but again it would have been better as a more flushed out novel.

I am looking forward to reading a full length book on the martian alliance chronicles one day.

This was a nice, quick read. It's my favorite of the series so far. I love all the crew members and I really like that for such a short read you never know what to expect and there are tons of twists and turns to
Keep you guessing as to what will happen next.
While thus is apart of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
