WARNING: Alien Encounters is intended for mature listeners. If it were a movie, it would be rated R for adult content, violence, and nudity.
Tensions explode as Alien Encounters continues the story of Michael, Una, Lizzie, Silvio, and Evan. It’s the Sopranos meets Black Mirror and Gulliver’s Travels in this human tale of relationships, darkness, desire, and trauma. A fast paced thriller, AE is the second book in the Seed Planet Initiative.
AE follows the story of Michael Forbes as he navigates the intricacies of temptation and loyalty while trying to be helpful in a world dominated by mafioso moves, alien AI, beauty, and attraction. Meanwhile, his girlfriend is being very naughty.
Michael meets Una and Evan in this continuation of The Alien while the AI and Lizzie both go through a process of evolution and Silvio moves ahead with plans. An investigation team arrives from Home and some new players enter the field as Alien Encounters stack up and actions clash. Loyalties are tested, people killed, and the question of Michael’s future is a good one.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
