The Salvagers will be here soon. Your Earth will not go to waste. We are not conquerors. We do not usurp. You are the vanquished…by your own hand.
Humans aren’t the only beings witnessing the near collapse of Earth due to climate change, nuclear weapons proliferation and pandemics. Interplanetary salvagers, the Plenetians have been watching Earth for a thousand years from their own water-starved planet, patiently waiting for humanity’s apocalypse.
Nyne, an undercover scout from Plenetia, has been sent in human guise to scope how close Earth is to catastrophe. Nyne becomes convinced that humanity is worth saving after serendipitous encounters with Chi, a Native American single mom and her grandfather Blue Clouds, a repentant ex-con, who struggle to survive poverty and drought in the Arizona desert.
As Plenetian leaders hatch a plot to hasten humanity’s demise, Chi and Nyne find themselves in the middle of the resulting subterfuge. Complicating matters is the U.S. government’s pursuit to capture and neutralize the alien threat. This fast paced, unpredictable adventure catapults the reader around the world and beyond, to a final showdown, with the future of Earth teetering in the balance.

As Caddi’s killers rampage through Orchard Close the usual defenders are helpless, but unlikely heroes make their own stand. As dawn shows the extent of the death and destruction, Harold reaches out to the Barbies. A huge bribe buys medicine and treatment at Beth’s, but that won’t save those too badly hurt to move.
The pyres hold a third of Orchard Close’s residents, many are badly injured, and the General is still out there. Despite the damage refugees still arrive, some of them providing a ray of hope. In death, Caddi gifts the injured a chance at life, but only if the bad girls on the block agree. While eight gangs clash, Harold tries once again to save his love.
Elsewhere the Zoo have a chance to gain allies, but to do so they must risk meeting Conan and his Barbarians. Events around Orchard Close give Sutton Park a respite, while Prof and the SIMS test their new weapons against the Borg. The Cabal launch their final armoured drive to destroy the Reivers, followed by the Specials to process any captives. At the other end of the country, Londoners plan for the day the armour comes for them.
The General is gathering allies, desperate to hit Orchard Close before their wounded can recover. He builds the biggest army seen in the city, nearly a thousand armed men from eight gangs, all determined to crush Orchard Close. The Barbies and GOFS are neutralised, rockets tear holes in the walls, and a saboteur strikes inside Orchard Close, but a depleted Riot Squad step up to face the horde. Outnumbered ten to one they can’t win, but hope the Last Man Standing will pull the General’s Army down with him.

“Kim Catanzarite weaves a tale so tight and thick with emotion, it keeps you guessing all the way to the heart-wrenching ending.”—Tricia, Goodreads review
“Evander is a fascinating secondary hero.”—Clarion Review
A mother desperate to keep her son.
A son with the power to change the human race.
Their fight against an unrelenting family bound by cosmic prophecy.
It has been ten years since Svetlana sought refuge for herself and her son in an obscure town in Russia. Ten years since she fought to keep Evander from the Jovians, her ruthless in-laws who harbor secret plans for both Earth and the human race.
Like any good mother, Sveta has carefully watched over her son while trying to provide a normal life amid extraordinary circumstances.
There is nothing normal about Evander.

Ten years ago, the family let Svetlana and Evander escape their watchful eyes. But Evander is the key to the Jovian prophecy, and once they discover that he has matured, they will use him to build the new future for the Earth they desire.
Svetlana will do everything in her power to hold them at bay, but she knows it won’t be enough. They are coming. The only question is, what will she do when they take him?
