After her acceptance into the alien society, Jade finds employment as a bouncer at Rix's Place, an alien bar and restaurant. As a guardian of order and justice, Jade leads a great life on Cablans until the unexpected arrival of another human. Jade chooses not to contend with the past she has worked so hard to obliterate. She prefers a terrifying death to a return to her Earthling past. And so, Jade takes on the job of launching an attack against the most dangerous group in the galaxy.

He finds himself stranded on an uncharted planet, which seems to be inhabited. His explorations reveal long-deserted cities perfectly maintained by the robot servants of their former inhabitants. Thus he becomes the marooned king of an isolated kingdom of machines. His life is a painfully lonely one and he spends eleven years without any human contact or companionship, tortured by memories of his former life on Earth and increasingly unable to imagine returning to it. Then his fitful peace is shattered when a spaceship crashes on his planet, and the sole survivor is a woman named Michi Nakamura. But she is not about to accept a fate in Birk's solitary world. http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook947.htm It was supposed to be a game. The idle rich of galactic Society loved to invent useless little games to keep themselves occupied--and the greatest was the Scavenger Hunt. Visit different worlds, pick up hard-to-get items that can't simply be bought, and have a fine time. A clever way to pass empty moments. Tyla deVrie and her twin brother, Bred, follow the family tradition of entering the Scavenger Hunt. But little do they realize as they hop from planet to planet aboard Bred's decadent space yacht that the Scavenger Hunt is far more than a game; it will irrevocably change their lives. That is, if it doesn't end them first. http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook813.htm Hundreds of human bodies have been placed in coffins in a military warehouse. But they are not dead, merely frozen in a cryogenic process meant to preserve an army of men to be restored to life if ever they are needed. The Earth they arise to inhabit is a world completely different from any they have known or imagined. Their only task is to fight and kill in the wars that plague the planet. They are not treated as men, but as fighting machines to be endlessly duplicated and used up. By having had their genetic patterns programmed into a computer, they are doomed to live over and over again, as part of an army that will not die and cannot escape. Yet one man is determined to break the pattern and free himself, truly believing that there must be a way out ... of eternity.
