Adapt or perish. Trisha Walker thought the worst was behind her. Failed marriage. Her daughter’s health problems. The sudden move to Nairobi. She thought wrong. Nothing can prepare her for the greatest transition yet: an alien invasion. While the world crumbles under the fear of an approaching extraterrestrial armada, Trisha reluctantly plays host to a soldier, a thief, and an explosive secret. Things are getting dangerous, and that’s before the aliens land. There’s one sliver of hope—a rumored safe place hidden atop a distant mountain. It’s a risky option, especially when a crime lord with a mysterious past comes searching for her stolen artifact of alien origin. As wildlife, criminals, and aliens run rampant through Nairobi, Trisha is sure of only three things. Home isn’t safe. Peace is not an option. And she’ll do anything to protect her daughter. But first, she’ll have to adjust to a world ruled by a new apex predator—humanity’s replacement. Transition is the first book in the Avery Blake and Vered Ehsani series The Next Evolution.

Where paths cross, fear lives. Driving off-road across the African savannah is never easy, especially during an alien invasion. Having a crime lord handcuffed to the steering wheel and a pet monster in the back seat, definitely doesn’t help. But it gets worse when Trisha, Simba, and their dysfunctional crew cross paths with the wrong people. And these days, all people are the wrong people. Pursued by both the local army and the aliens, Trisha also has to worry about her daughter Celine’s growing powers. If Celine can stay alive long enough to learn how they work, they just might survive. So they’re racing for Mt. Kenya, hoping to find safe haven. Problem is, they aren’t the only ones. A great migration is in motion: animals, humans, and aliens seeking a mythical place where gods and demons are resurrected. All paths converge on the mountain—but some of those paths are definitely, dangerously wrong. Convergence is the second book in the Avery Blake and Vered Ehsani series, The Next Evolution.

To survive, they must evolve. The Walker crew has survived despite an alien invasion and the chaos it created. Even better, they’ve managed to keep the device that might protect them from what happens next. But a terrible calamity is coming. Only a few will survive. And the device has room for only two people. Worse, their alien pursuers won’t give up that easily—they’re willing to use all the resources of their armada to stop the humans from foiling their plan. If they’re going to survive, they’ll need to evolve. But evolution isn’t for everyone.
