Connecting
2019
We are entering another ice age.
In less than a year, my brother and I will freeze to death, unless we starve first. Experts have created biodomes, built tunnels, and rationed food and fuel to make the end more tolerable, for a bit.
When Lon of planet Kaipra contacts me, claiming he has the key to our survival, I have to listen. He’ll help humans survive the ice age, but at the ultimate cost—I must agree to leave my brother, my friends, and the entire planet I call home to travel across the galaxy with him.
Can I trust him?
What are his plans with me?
And do I even have a choice?
You’ll keep turning the pages of this post apocalyptic survival novel, because it's filled with action, adventure, and an across-the-galaxy romance.

Live or die, stay or go, the choice is meant to be easy... I can either board an alien spaceship with my fellow criminals or rot in prison on a dying Earth. The spacecraft's captain, a handsome alien who looks remarkably human, has been visiting me in my dreams for over a year. He has given me the companionship I need during my time locked up in solitary confinement and the way he holds me in the dark makes me forget the Earth is on the brink of extinction. In the midst of another ice age, humanity will be wiped out soon, but the alien spacecraft gives hundreds of us another option. If I get on that ship, I have a chance at surviving.And I'm a survivor.

Returning
2020
Earth is dying, but I hold the key to its survival. The people of Earth thought we wouldn’t survive. Why else would they only send their criminals with a ship full of aliens? But we proved them wrong. All we have to do is cross the galaxy and return home before Earth freezes to death in less than three months. Easy, right?
The unknowns of the universe, like meteor showers, wormholes, and space pirates, are nothing compared to what we face on our own ship. With our own people. Our salvation has never been so close…yet so far away.
