Dominion
Trilogy
On an alternate Earth, humankind makes its first contact with aliens—but not all aliens come from space.
For hundreds of generations, Humans dominated Myria, the only continent on the flat plane of Earth. But a century and a half ago, their supremacy was threatened. A race of intelligent creatures emerged from the sea, seeking refuge from an environment that had turned toxic. Humans granted them that refuge, but as coexistence became conflict, the leader of the Humans, the well-meaning Myr Mondo, banished the species to a distant, barely habitable island.
Now, a hundred years after the Banishment, Myr Mondo still lives—ancient, decrepit, amputated down to a head, but determined to survive long enough to suffer for the mistake of sparing his enemies’ lives. When a visitor arrives from that faraway island, it seems that that time has come, and that the consequences are just as predicted: a war for control of Myria, which Humans must wage against a revitalized foe. But just how, and when, that war begins is far stranger than anything Myr Mondo could have foreseen.
Queen of Infinite Space
Three and a half days. That’s all the notice that the residents of northern Alabama get that an asteroid the size of Central Park is forecast to make a devastating impact somewhere in their region. Among those residents are teenage best friends Billie and Xena, who happen to be in the worst fight of their lifelong friendship but are forced to evacuate together, with their families, and head north to Billie’s grandmother’s house in Wisconsin.
As the girls and their parents traverse an America in chaos, they mourn their old lives and bury old grievances, thinking themselves safe, physically at least, from the impending Armageddon. But then, Billie starts hearing voices—voices that claim to be coming from a race of alien creatures that are aboard the approaching asteroid—and it’s soon clear that Billie’s family and friends haven’t left the apocalypse behind at all. Rather, it’s been following them… for these few days, and for generations.
