���� �������������������� ���������������� ����������������...I discovered my mate when I was eight-my best friend's little sister. She was just a wolf pup and hadn't even shifted back into her human form when I vowed to protect her and never love another the way I knew I was destined to fall in love with Anna.

I kicked her out of my house, out of my pack, and away from my territory with a promise that I'd kill her should she step across the border again.

Collected together for the first time, this omnibus brings new authors to the Alien universe. Across three epic novels, discover the origins of fan-favorite character PFC Jenette Vasquez and her family, fight extinction at the hands of Xenomorphs, and find the researchers of Pala Station courting disaster of... the Xenomorph kind. INFILTRATOR: The official prequel to Aliens: Fire Team Elite from Cold Iron Studios. Dr. Timothy Hoenikker arrives on Pala Station, a Weyland-Yutani facility. Lured there by the promise of alien artifacts, instead he finds a warped bureaucracy and staff of misfits testing the effects of Xenomorph bio-materials on living creatures. Unbeknownst to the personnel, however, there is an infiltrator among them whose actions could spell disaster. Also on staff is Victor Rawlings, a former marine who gathers together other veterans to prepare for the worst. As Pala Station receives a delivery of alien eggs, the experiments spin out of control, and only the former Colonial Marines stand between the humans and certain death. PHALANX: Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles and rich cultures--vibrant until the demons rose and slaughtered ninety percent of the planet's population. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails and dreaded "tooth-tongues" rage across the land. Terrified survivors hide in ruined mountain keeps, where they eke out a meager existence. Skilled runners travel the treacherous paths between keeps, maintaining trade and sharing information. If caught, they die screaming. Ahiliyah of Lemeth Hold is an exceptional runner, constantly risking her life for her people. When she and her closest companions discover a new weapon, it may offer the one last chance to end the demon plague. But to save humanity, the trio must fight their way to the tunnels of Black Smoke Mountain--the lair of the mythical Demon Mother. VASQUEZ: Even before the doomed mission to Hadley's Hope, Jenette Vasquez had to fight to survive. Born to an immigrant family with a long military tradition she looked up to the stars, but life pulled her back down to Earth--first into a street gang, then prison. The Colonial Marines proved to be Vasquez's way out--a way that forced her to give up her twin children. Raised by Jenette's sister Roseanna, those children--Leticia and Ramón--have been forced to discover their own ways to survive. Leticia by following her mother's path into the military, Ramón by embracing the corporate hierarchy of Weyland-Yutani. Their paths converge on an unnamed world, which some see as a potential utopia, while others would use it for highly secretive research. Regardless of what humans might have planned for it, however, Xenomorphs will turn the planet into a living hell. Sarcastic, sexy, and action-packed, Vasquez brings generational heritage into the Alien universe in an explosive way.

A solarpunk masterpiece from a writer who champions a positive, inclusive and deep-thinking version of future possibilities. The Pulldogs leave Rome to embrace a new condition: leaving no trace of their passage, they shape a new challenging lifestyle: wandering around the world as neo-nomads to spread their solarpunk way of living and to engage on a never-ending mission to save endangered human cultures with nanites. But the vision of Alan and Nicolas about how the Pulldogs should live collide, and as a consequence, they split in two groups: one goes North to live in the beautiful wilderness of Siberia and Mongolia, while the other goes South to save the Dogon tribe from a possible extinction due to climate change in Central Africa. But at the end everybody - including a new generation of Pulldogs - will have to come back to Rome, where their incredible transformation started many years before.

La Batalla de los 32 revive la lucha constante por mantener nuestras libertades y un poco de sentido común. Esta lucha, como en una partida de ajedrez, se desarrolla en distintos flancos y de forma dinámica. La historia comienza cuando una poderosa compañía, QuTE, encuentra la forma de manipular el comportamiento y las habilidades de Richard Coatwhite, a través de la teleportación cuántica. Sin embargo, nunca contaron con el espíritu combativo, la agudeza y valentía de Richard, Andrea, K., Maximus, entre otros. Juntos forman una alianza que crece ante innumerables reveses, que suma integrantes nobles, y lleva a Richard, una vez un simple peón, a convertirse en la pieza más importante de la partida. Es un ejemplo de resiliencia, de lucha, de inteligencia, y de hacer lo correcto. Soy amante de la ciencia, los deportes, el orden y las libertades individuales. Tengo un doctorado en física y mi investigación se centra en las áreas de información cuántica e inteligencia artificial. El libro envuelve muchas de mis pasiones, mis preocupaciones y mis hobbies. El ajedrez siempre me ha cautivado. Es por eso que termina siendo el hilo conductor de mi historia. También practico tenis, natación, andar en bicicleta, y me encanta la lectura. Mi libro tiene distintas capas y muchas fuentes de inspiración. Será un thriller o una aventura, periodismo científico creativo, o un llamado a la resiliencia, esperanza y perseverancia.
