They said there were no monsters. But there are. It is the 23rd Century. Across the cold void of space, alien monsters prey on humanity: infesting generation-ships, destroying colonies, and transforming humans into hosts for their foul spoor. From the insectoid hive-beasts of Klaatu, to the xenomorphic parasites of the outer rim, this book contains the sum total of human knowledge of the myriad forms of alien menace; where to find them...and how to kill them. In this guide you will find details of mankind's greatest champions, the marines of STAR Industries. With their state-of-the-art technology and advanced combat tactics developed over a century of warfare, the STAR marines battle the alien, wherever it may strike.

This is a complete, year-long programming guide that shows librarians how to integrate nonfiction and poetry into storytime for preschool children in order to build literacy skills and overall knowledge. The right nonfiction titles—ones with colorful photographs and facts that are interesting to young imaginations—give librarians an opportunity to connect with children who are yearning for "true stuff." Presenting poetry in storytime encourages a love of language and the chance to play with words. Written by authors with a combined 25 years of experience working with children and books in a library setting, Get Real With Storytime: 52 Weeks of Early Literacy Programming goes far beyond the typical storytime resource book by providing books and great ideas for using nonfiction and poetry with preschool children. This book provides a complete, year-long programming guide for librarians who work with preschool children in public libraries and school librarians who run special programs for preschoolers as well as parents, childcare providers, and camp counselors. Each of the 52 broad storytime topics (one for each week of the year) includes a sample storytime featuring an opening poem; a nonfiction title; picture books; songs, rhymes, or fingerplays; and a follow-up activity. Early literacy tips that are based on the authors' extensive experience and the principles of Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) are presented throughout the book.

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SAFE, BUT THAT WAS A LIE ... Hollis Palmer thought that stopping the aliens from blowing up Austin and rescuing Mia would leave him free to live his life in peace – at least as much peace as could be expected from a world suddenly overrun with aliens. But the aliens have other plans. All around him, Hollis is finding people whose brains have been zapped by the invaders, and now they are little more than zombies. The whole thing seems to be centered on the nearly ubiquitous Astral app that first predicted their arrival. Now, Hollis and Mia must face their final – and hardest – task yet: They will have to save not just each other or their home city but the entire world. ★★★★★ "The story is fast-paced and the characters are engrossing. The dialog is great and there are even parts that are a bit funny, especially with Hollis and his smart-mouthing. You don't necessarily have to read the books in the original "Invasion" series, though there are some references that take on a bit more meaning if you have. I highly recommend this book and other books written by Platt and Truant." -- DBStevens ★★★★★ "These guys always come up with stuff that makes me wonder: How does one even think up something like that! This book smartly pulls together this story and the original series and also wraps up with a very satisfying conclusion (while still leaving the door open for us to see Hollis and Mia again)! I definitely recommend it!" -- SLE ★★★★★ "This is the last book in the trilogy. I really enjoyed and loved this last book. The aliens, the bad guys who hate Hollis. This story is fast paced and so entertaining. I so recommend this book." -- Shirley ★★★★★ "This book was so good. It has a little of everything alien style. The main characters are great. It ties into the invasion series but you don't have to of read those books to enjoy this." -- Kindle Customer Save the World is the epic conclusion to the completed Save The Humans trilogy. If you’ve enjoyed the exploits of Hollis and Mia, you’ll love this thrilling final chapter! Pick up your copy today!

In the thrilling follow-up to Emerald Ridge, a PI and his fiancée head from Oregon to Rome—to find answers to mysteries both personal and political . . . Max Blake’s fiancée, Caeli Brown, lost her archbishop uncle to gunfire—at least, that’s what they thought. So they’re puzzled when they receive another postcard from him. What’s going on? Is Uncle Jack dead or not? Max and Caeli are soon on the road to the Vatican’s Secret Archives Building in the heart of Rome, where they meet a mysterious prelate with a fixation for world domination—a man who may well hold the key to determining who actually shot American President John F. Kennedy in 1963—in this gut-wrenching, surprising, and sharply witty tale of international mystery and intrigue.
