From back of book:
Cortney is having a baby. Deep in space on an orbiting laboratory, she is both scientist and mother in a dramatic experiment that turns into nine months of terror when the Alien arrives.
It waits. A starblind horror, studying, dissecting and discarding humans in a hideous experiment of its own, preparing to possess what it came to claim: the first human child conceived and born in space!

The boys in homicide have a new partner - he looks like a sever-foot stingray and smells like fresh limes. But he's one hell of a cop...
An out-of-this-world detective novel.

"You must have bailed out just in time. You say your name is King. You got a first name?"
"Men call me Arthur"
"I'll bet your friends at school kidded the pants off you," the airman said,laughing. "Arthur King. Where's Merlin?"
"Have you seen him?" Arthur asked hopefully.
"Right. At least you still got a sense of humor after losing your Spitfire. Now let's see if we can hitch a ride back to the air base."
"Arthur King is an intriguing blend of history, fantasy, and intrigue, a clever intermingling of two of Britain's darkest - and finest - hours. It ties the recent and distant past together in fascination ways - and in exciting knots." Harry Turtledove

Kevin Senecal was nobody's hero. All he wanted from life was a professional career, a strong union to protect him, and comfortable company-owned housing well away from his Welfare Slum origins. As a senior engineering student at U.C.L.A., Kevin seemed on the verge of realizing his ambitions, when one night he was attacked by a murderous "youth gang" - and accidentally killed one of them while escaping. That's when it all changed, "You don't kill juvies in this town," the Homicide Detective told him. Suddenly Kevin Senecal was on the run, and on all of Earth there was no place to hide

All that stands between the aliens and the destruction of the planet are three unlikely heroes. A street-child thief, a dispossessed and totally spoiled brat of a sixteen year- old princess and a confused, amoral, alien-raised human. If they can gather all the transmitter sections before the aliens do, then there is a chance of survival.
An easy read.

Carl Donley woke up covered with blood. But it wasn't his own. He couldn't remember how he got there. In fact, he couldn't remember anything. It appeared that he was a computer engineer on the orbital colony Daedalus. But his wife was a tantalizing stranger. When he tried to unscramble the missing pieces of his memory, people abound him began having accidents. Fatal accidents.
I enjoyed this one.

From the back cover:
Karniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. A revolution hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay - no matter the personal cost.
I did not find this quite as good as the first two stories but enjoyed it anyway.

It was just a dusty, old tin-can of a robot - with no guarantee. But Jeff only needed it to teach him Martian Colony Swahili before he got expelled from the Space Academy.
Jeff Wells didn't really know what he had purchased.
He didn't realize that the robot had been constructed by a genius half a century ago - from the salvaged parts of a damaged alien spacecraft.
He didn't know about the robot's amazing technological skills - such as antigrav and a strange capacity for human emotions - among other things.
Jeff Wells didn't really know what he was getting himself into....
This book was previously published as two titles, Norby the Mixed-Up Robot and Norby's Other Secret.

Patrick Garrity started life as the bastard son of a female convict. Unwanted and unloved, he was born in shame and raised in the poverty of a Sydney orphanage. Barely out of his teens, he left the brawling city to make a new life for himself in the limitless back country of New South Wales. Alone and hungry, he met the woman who would change his destiny and that of an entire continent.
Innocent in the ways of Europeans, Mayrah was the native girl Garrity bought to satisfy his passions. Divided by competing cultures, they were nevertheless united by their fierce love of the land - and eventually, each other. Together they carved out an enormous empire in the great outback, and founded a new generation of Australians who would forever bear the imprint of their pride and passion.

The convict: David Kerrick was a man with nothing left to lose. Betrayed by the woman he adored, deported to Australia for murdering her lover, he had lost the will to live until the lure of the outback claimed his soul. Captivated by the sweeping wild beauty of the land, its freedom and mystery, he set out to make a piece of it his own. Battling drought and dingoes, bushfires and bushrangers, he lived for the moment until the past came back to haunt him.
The colonist: Wealthy and beautiful, Alexandra Hammond had every reason to disdain the penniless convict who had killed her cousin. But Alexandra was a woman with the strength to judge the truth for herself, and the determination to forge her own destiny.
Together, they would take on the vast outback, burying the bitterness of the past and planting the seeds of a shining future.

From the back cover:
Annik Miller is trapped. A man she once spurned, Gibson Spenser, has become her bitter enemy. He calls her endlessly, follows her everywhere, even threatens her. Annik fears that there is no escape...until she inherits a wilderness cabin in Maine. She flees there, hoping that at last she'll be safe.
But one night Annik wakes up to see a masked man...a shadowy form that could be Gibson. Then a horrific nighttime attack tells Annik that she is still in grave peril. For a lovesick madman stalks her...a man who would like nothing better than to wrest every last bit of happiness from her life - just before he ends it.
I liked enough to read it twice.

From the back cover:
Above ground the countryside stretches quietly and idyllically under the blue sky. Peaceful and untroubled, far from the wars and woes of man, nature moves through her simple, timeless cycles.
But look closer. For there in the secret world beneath the grasses lies an empire in turmoil.
A great leader has died and, as the enemy prepares its armies for war, rebellion is whispered through the undergrowth. There in the kingdom of the ants, way below the gaze of man, the old order crumbles and the new prepares for its fantastic birth.
