Synopsis

When Kitty gets recruited by a very secret agency manned by the most gorgeous people on Earth, it turns out that she has to save the day with her knowledge of pop culture, comics, hairspray, and rock ‘n’ roll – not necessarily in that order. Marketing manager Katherine “Kitty” Katt discovers the rumors about Roswell and UFOs are true, but with a twist – the aliens are here to help protect Earth from a parasitic threat and, as an added bonus, they have enhanced abilities. As Kitty becomes involved with the Alpha Centaurions and their mission, she gets entangled with Jeff Martini and Christopher White – alien cousins who share danger, responsibility and authority. In fact, they’re willing to share anything…other than Kitty. Kitty gets deeper into Centaurion Division, uncovering layers of subterfuge, secrets, and lies, some coming from surprising directions. All the residents of Earth, human and alien alike, are in deadly danger. She also realizes there’s more on the line than just saving the day – in order to save the world, Kitty might just have to admit she’s fallen in love. “Rollicking, sexy fun – science fiction hasn’t been this much of a blast since…well, never. Grab on with both hands and enjoy the wild, lusty ride.” – Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Triggers “This delightful romp has many interesting twists and turns as it glances at racism, politics, and religion en route. It will have fanciers of cinematic sf parodies referencing Men in Black , Ghost Busters , and X-Men. ” – Diana Tixier Herald, Booklist Starred Review Booklist Top 10 Adult SF/F Novel of 2010 “The series reminds me a lot of J.D. Robb’s In Death books…I’m hoping the Alien series is around for just as long as Robb’s.” – Book Talk “…great fun, with lots of quirky characters, witty dialogue, a bit of romance, some hot sex, and oodles of action.” – Locus “An appealing blend of science fiction action and steamy paranormal romance. And they’re fast-paced; these books just don’t stop moving.” – Publisher’s Weekly “There’s a reason why this series is so popular and it’s because there’s nothing else out there in the universe like it.” – Under the Covers “Has less to do with making a statement about humanity than it does about reminding us of one of the reasons we read: because it’s fun.” – Kirkus “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 “The main characters are well written and hilarious. The heroine is definitely an alpha female, but isn’t without her flaws, which is rare.” – freshfiction.com
