In this world, the fates of two people, Tengo and Aomame, are closely intertwined. They are each, in their own way, doing something very dangerous. And in this world, there seems no way to save them both.

Something extraordinary is starting.

Mutiny - Space: Above and Beyond #3 (Easton Royce)

Mutiny - Space: Above and Beyond #3

Easton Royce

Blurb: The year is 2063. Earth's first space settlement has just been demolished by an Alien army so violent and blood-thirsty it left almost nothing in its wake. And now it's up to the forces of Earth to defend the planet and save all of mankind... Meet the 58th Marine Squadron trained for war in SPACE.

When Lieutenant Cooper Hawkes and the rest of the 58th Squadron are rescued from a distant space port by a passing freighter, they quickly discover what special cargo the ship is hauling: thousands of tanks of In-Vitros. And one of those In-Vitros is Cooper's 'sister' - a being created from his gene pool.

Finding a relative is something Cooper has always wanted - but before he can start his family reunion, the ship is damaged by enemy fire. In order to save the humans on board, the captain is forced to shut down power to the cargo bay - even though that means destroying all of the unborn In-Vitros.

Lieutenant Hawkes refuses to give up his sister without a fight. But is he angry enough to start a space mutiny?

Come Back Gizmo - Gizmo #3 (Paul Jennings & Keith McEwan)

Come Back Gizmo - Gizmo #3

Paul Jennings

Illustrated by Keith McEwan

Blurb: Reptile spun the wheel and expertly changed gear. We screeched round a corner. I was flung back against the seat. Desperately I hung on to the howling baby. 

'When your father finds out what you've done,' I yelled at the blond boy, 'your'e in for it.'

I stared at them, trying to take it in.

I was being kidnapped at high speed in a military vehicle by a bunch of little brats.

Croaked - Wicked! Part Three

Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: 'Charge,' came Gramps' excited voice.

I gasped. The frog general was as big as a full-grown cow. He started to roll his tongue back into his mouth. He was going to slurp me up and slide me down his throat.

Thwack. The frog's tongue cracked out like a giant whip.

'Now,' I screamed to Gramps. 'Fire.'

It's WICKED how it grabs you. And it's to be continued...
