Preview Alien vs Alien

Raves for the Alien novels: “If you like your futuristic adventure with heapings of over-the-top fun and absurdity, Koch has the series for you. . . . A rip-roaring and outlandish romp!” —RT Book Reviews “Aliens, danger, and romance make this a fast-paced, wittily-written sf romantic comedy.” —Library Journal “Koch still pulls the neat trick of quietly weaving in plot threads that go unrecognized until they start tying together—or snapping. This is a hyperspeed- paced addition to a series that shows no signs of slowing down.” —Publishers Weekly “This delightful romp has many interesting twists and turns as it glances at racism, politics, and religion en route . . . will have fanciers of cinematic sf parodies referencing Men in Black, Ghost Busters, and X-Men.” —Booklist (Starred Review) “Gini Koch has another winner, plenty of action combined with just the right touch of humor and a kick-ass storyline. What’s not to like?” —Fresh Fiction “Gini Koch mixes up the sometimes staid niche of science fiction romance by adding nonstop humor, blockbuster action, and moments worthy of a soap opera.” —Dirty Sexy Books Yi DAW Books Presents GINI KOCH’s Alien Novels: TOUCHED BY AN ALIEN ALIEN TANGO ALIEN IN THE FAMILY ALIEN PROLIFERATION ALIEN DIPLOMACY ALIEN VS.

And to our daughter, Veronica, who’s as special and super as Jamie Martini, thanks for being both a chip off the old block and your own distinct person. Not sure how you managed it, but well done. And thanks to both of you for being a part of this writing journey—it’s always better when the people you love are along with you for the ride.
