About the book:
Paperback, 432 pages
Expected publication: December 4th 2012 by DAW
Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini and the rest of the American Centaurion Diplomatic Corps are still recovering from their introduction to Washington D.C. politics, parties, and conspiracies. So when compromising pictures arrive, no one’s too surprised. They’re also the least of anyone’s worries.
Evil androids running amok, birds of all kinds and from all places creating havoc, a Senator trapped in an ever-tightening web of intrigue, and escalating international tensions all seem tough but manageable. But the disappearance of Jeff Martini and Charles Reynolds during the International One World Festival signals more than the usual nastiness — and it looks like even ACE can’t help them.
Then new trouble arrives in old packages and even with the best hackers in the world, beings from near and far, the full might of Earth’s military, and the Wonder Twins on their side, Centaurion Division’s outmanned and outgunned.
Now Kitty’s racing against the clock to find not only Jeff and Chuckie, but to keep the peace between Middle Eastern countries, all while searching for the bases of super-soldier operations — to stop them or die trying.

About the author:
Gini Koch lives in Hell’s Orientation Area (aka Phoenix, AZ), works her butt off (sadly, not literally) by day, and writes by night with the rest of the beautiful people. She writes the fast, fresh and funny Alien/Katherine “Kitty” Katt series for DAW Books, listens to rock music 24/7 (particularly, but not limited to, Aerosmith), and is a proud comics geek-girl willing to discuss at any time why Wolverine is the best superhero ever (even if Deadpool does get all the best lines). She also speaks frequently on what it takes to become a successful author and other aspects of writing and the publishing business.
Her interests include seeing how often she can ask, “So, have I told you about this plot twist yet?” of her husband before he goes insane, going to rock concerts with her daughter, and training her pets to ‘bring it’. Gini started writing to have an excuse to stay up late playing on the computer while listening to music and mooning over pictures of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
Now she’s expanded her thinking — she moons over a wide variety of hunks in order to keep the visual creative juices flowing. So to speak.

Alien vs. The Ancients. What did you do to our Universe?????????
Alien vs. Kindergarten
Where you learn everything you need to know about earth.
Alien vs Toddler. I’m pretty sure a 2 or 3 year old is sufficiently unpredictable to throw a wrench in any being’s plans!
Alien vs local librarians
They seem to always have the right answer for anything
Alien vs Godzilla, taking on all comers…. Who Will Win . Godzilla has the better track record. He has fought everything from King Kong to Mothra why not Aliens
Alien vs Insects. What real purpose do gnats and mosquitos actually serve?
Alien vs, Al y Ann – – Conflict with that International flavor!
Alien vs. Predator – It’s Already Been Done!
Ah! Can’t wait!
Always makes me think of Alien vs. Predator…which I love. Great movies. But for a book…Alien vs. Mad Max. Who doesn’t remember the Thunderdome? I think Mad Max could take them on, shoot their asses full of holes, and send their corpses home.
Kitty Kat vs Ren, where we will fight to death to decide who the best to be Jeff Martini’s wife! 😀
Hehehe, just kidding, Alien vs Chuck Norris. Are the alien finally be creature who can beat the mighty Chuck? 😉
Alien vs The Tribble Expansion- Why is there suddenly a Poof population explosion?
thank you so much for the giveaway! So my idea… Alien vs. readers (yes because be can be very clever!)
Alien vs. Math Nerds
Alien vs. Chocolate, because think how much fun Kitty would have in that battle, even if she “lost!” or maybe…
Alien vs. Disco, because that music surely would drive everyone insane and there would be no more snarky comments about Kitty’s playlist! or maybe…
Alien vs Geeky German Vegetarians, because Susi always gets to read these wonderful books before we do! (Kidding, Susi!)
Alien v. Baker- who bakes better cookies
Alien vs Sheldon (from The Big Bang Theory) 😀
alien vs the demented teenagers
gl everyone
Alien vs. Lasagna – layers upon layers of sensual evilness, that you will regret long after the experience is over.
“Alien vs. Hillbillies” !
Remember the Hatfields & McCoys?
Hillbillies don’t intimidate, and hillbillies do not quit.
Because people who’ve lived on a piece of land for generations know every nook & cranny of it, and will defend it tooth and nail.
They’ve got good food and good moonshine for fuel, guerilla tactics learned from birth, and have been stockpiling weapons for a century, so any Alien Invasion would still be sampling the fried chicken & blackbottom pie when they figured out they’d bitten off more than they could chew.
Alien vs. Were…. oh yeah, this would be SOOO cool. Hunky aliens against werewolves, panthers, lions– also hunky– damn, it would be a hunk fest!
Alien vs Jane Austin a lesson in proper manners.
Alien vs. Chocolate is good 😉 Kitty would lose that one. Which would be a win in a way… LOL
Okay. Alien vs. Alcohol -but they’d all die while solving that.
Alien vs. The Olympians – but its been done to death with Percy
Hmm.
Alien vs. Cable – too much downtime has dire consequences for our once active and fit AC population 🙂
My DD insists I add one more:
Alien vs. Dinosaurs – but I think godzillia covered that one
Alien vs The lost treasure — the Race is on to find the lost treasure of the ancients.
alien Vs. cyborg – because who doesn’t love both?
alien vs sexy girl, can they deny the sexy one 😀
Great giveaway, thank you. But to come up with something original is not that easy! Alien vs Superman, who is stronger and faster?
Alien vs Kitty’s Full Music Playlist
Aaaaa! Not the iPod on random! AND repeat?!?!
Wow, this is a fun challenge. I find myself thinking about this far too often 🙂
