It is one thing to find your path, another entirely to walk it. The beacons – Adam, Garrett and Elaine – are cut off from their homeworld. In finding each other they obliterated the first wave of an alien attack on Earth, and together they remain humanity's only chance of salvation. But they are little help to Earth when they are being tracked like prey by a relentless assassin and are unable to tap into the source of their power, their distant planet of origin. When an assassin, sole survivor of the decimated alien attack force, captures Garrett, Elaine must make vital decisions that will change their relationship forever, putting at risk the crucial role they share in keeping Earth safe. Meanwhile, Adam must reforge the severed connection to their distant homeworld before the threat returns. If the beacons are to avert catastrophe, they must rescue Garrett and make a connection with their home planet before the invaders return, but will it be too late? This thrilling story of aliens living among us is perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Rysa Walker and Linnea Sinclair.

Guy Voland could not have arrived on Earth at a worse time. Earth has been saved from the brink of destruction – but for how long? Aliens known as the "beacons" have just averted the planet's total obliteration, so a powerful energy field near Earth is not putting minds at ease. And when Guy appears out of nowhere, remembering nothing but his name, the questions quickly stack up: is he a man, or an alien Trojan horse? One thing is soon made certain: he is the genetic twin of the country's leading scientist, Adam Desai, who is still coming to terms with his own alien origins. Not surprisingly, Adam suspects a connection between the stranger's sudden appearance and the recently defused threat to their planet. While Adam struggles to determine what Guy's existence means for himself and the future of humanity, both men fight the alarming effects of their too-similar make-up – and stuck in the middle is the space center's alluring, newly appointed director, Rosie Granger. This thrilling story of aliens living among us is perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Rysa Walker and Linnea Sinclair.

A father's love can change the world. Trey Luken turned from his responsibilities – and his son – long ago. Though he left his homeworld to become a beacon and protect a distant planet called Earth, burdened with great power, Trey vanished into the bottom of a bottle. When Trey's half-human son Garrett is captured and tortured by a nefarious anti-alien syndicate, Trey gets the wake-up call he needed. For years he has held the key to Earth's survival but has lived in the shadows rather than confront his destiny. Now he sees a chance to regain his self-respect and his son's trust, emerging from among the humans to bring justice to the perpetrators. He sees only one way to redeem himself and give his son a fighting chance: killing the man responsible for Garrett's suffering. But will Trey's actions be too little, too late, to save humanity? This thrilling story of aliens living among us is perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Rysa Walker and Linnea Sinclair.

This extraordinary book tackles head-on the existence and meaning of spirit forces in Australia. Haunted Earth asks a few key questions: Is Australia haunted? If so, where, and with what? Are there spiritual or otherwise ‘special’ places in Australia? Each chapter follows a round-the-clock journey, from midnight to midnight, charting the activities of Australians of many different experiences and cultures: there are Aboriginal spirits on Flinders Island at daybreak, the summoning of a Chinese ancestor spirit at noon in Perth, an exorcism in New South Wales in early afternoon.
