Police teniente Alex Rukow has spent his life trapped on Santuario, his people’s isolated home-slash-prison-island.

International ARC Giveaway: Alien vs. Alien by Gini Koch

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.
