[Book 2 of the ARC10 Trilogy]

Rampant addictions, psychotic breakdowns, and threats of mutiny keep Commander Janika Lorn up all night. Transporting two-thousand souls safely from a destroyed Earth to a new habitat aboard the refugee ship ARC10 has been a special kind of hell - especially while also hiding her illegal pregnancy from her commanding officer. She wonders if they should turn around and take their chances in the crumbling underground bunker city they abandoned, even with the hostile invading aliens still patrolling the sky. She wonders if they're capable of surviving the rest of the journey.

Because it seems like her troubles couldn't get any worse, and they've only been in space for three months.

As usual, Commander Janika Lorn is wrong. 

When she finally hits an all-time low in the confines of an alien prison, a botched rescue operation puts her life in the black-gloved hands of Captain Shin-Hyun Moon of the HMS Valediction - a notorious vagrant and patchwork monster who was stitched together with the eclectic skins of the galaxy. Despite being instant enemies, Lorn and Moon are forced to work together to salvage their separate missions that have gone totally awry. 



HMS Valediction is the sequel to 2017 Watty winner ARC10, the second installation of the ARC10 trilogy.

Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking. 饾悅饾悥: 饾悞饾悶饾惐饾惍饾悮饾惀 饾悳饾惃饾惂饾惌饾悶饾惂饾惌, 饾惉饾惃饾惁饾悶 饾惎饾悽饾惃饾惀饾悶饾惂饾悳饾悶, 饾悮饾惂饾悵 饾惉饾惌饾惈饾惃饾惂饾悹 饾惀饾悮饾惂饾悹饾惍饾悮饾悹饾悶. 饾悅饾惃饾惂饾惌饾悮饾悽饾惂饾惉 饾惀饾悮饾惌饾悶饾惈 饾悵饾悶饾惄饾悽饾悳饾惌饾悽饾惃饾惂饾惉 饾惃饾悷 饾惄饾惈饾悶饾悹饾惂饾悮饾惂饾悳饾惒, 饾惁饾悮饾惒 饾惂饾惃饾惌 饾悰饾悶 饾惉饾惍饾悽饾惌饾悮饾悰饾惀饾悶 饾悷饾惃饾惈 饾惉饾惃饾惁饾悶 饾惈饾悶饾悮饾悵饾悶饾惈饾惉.

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright 漏 2016 by LL Montez

His partner in this mission is Vantheos, a strong-willed and enigmatic Interstellar Voyager, whose sharp instincts and cold professionalism are vital to the success of their task. But as the two men venture together to Earth, where the weapon is rumored to be hidden, they discover that nothing is as it seems, and the true purpose of their mission is far darker than either of them could have imagined. As they delve deeper into their search, uncovering hidden secrets and long-forgotten histories, Saiphee and Vantheos begin to realize that their mission is not just about finding a weapon, it's about something far more dangerous and personal. There is a secret, a truth buried in the very core of their mission, and the closer they get to unraveling it, the more their trust in each other, and in their superiors, begins to crack. As they face betrayals from within their own ranks, Saiphee and Vantheos can no longer ignore the undeniable attraction growing between them. What started as a professional partnership becomes something more intense, more complicated, as they struggle with the powerful emotions that pull them together. In the face of danger, deception, and the growing threat of the weapon they seek, Saiphee and Vantheos must confront the ultimate question: can they trust each other enough to survive the truth of their mission-and the passion that has ignited between them?
