Description:

Sci-fi action meets steamy paranormal in Gini Koch’s Alien novels, as Katherine “Kitty” Katt faces off against aliens, conspiracies, and deadly secrets. • “Futuristic high-jinks and gripping adventure.” — RT Reviews

After the wildest wedding ever, Katherine "Kitty" Katt-Martini and her Alpha Centaurion husband Jeff are hoping life will settle down. But alien attacks are on the increase, and someone is testing a dangerous new drug on unwilling subjects within their group. As if that's not enough, they discover that their newborn's talents are off the charts—and the bad guys want their baby.

The last thing anyone in Centaurion Division needs after that is a conspiracy to kill the heads of the C.I.A.'s Extra-Terrestrial Division and the Presidential Terrorism Control Unit, otherwise known as Charles Reynolds and Kitty's mother, Angela Katt. Then, suddenly, key members of Alpha and Airborne start vanishing.

Can Kitty, her remaining team members, friends old and new, and a totally unexpected new partner rescue everyone and figure out why Kitty's become a superhuman? Most importantly, can they pull it all off before the event Kitty dreads most—her Alpha Centaurion baby shower?

Alien Proliferation is the fourth installment of the thrilling Alien novels.

From Booklist

The fourth book in the Alien series is a humorous, detailed, and action-packed story that stands on its own, apart from the rest of the series. The narrative style is casual, making readers feel as if they are talking with a close friend, listening to the friend’s sotto voce commentary. In the not-too-distant future, aliens have come to earth, but they have been kept a secret from the general population. These aliens can make themselves look like humans and are therefore able to blend in with humans most of the time. They are also endowed with superhuman speed and strength and a variety of psychic abilities. This leads to intrigue among various government and pseudogovernment groups that want to control these aliens, who they regard as weapons. With a pregnant main character, Kitty Martini, this book is likely to most appeal to women, who can sympathize with some of the character’s trials and tribulations, as she navigates not only pregnancy but near-constant attempts to kidnap or kill her alien husband, her elite fighting team, and her baby. --Rebecca Gerber
