Lauren was about to discover we were not alone. She didn’t ask to be a hero. But one night during the graveyard shift at Jodrell Bank, Lauren captured an astonishing fast radio burst from an alien race. And just like that, the fate of the world was thrust into her hands. Now she’s put everything on the line to blow open the conspiracy of silence surrounding UFOs. She’s on the run from MI5, and a secret organization determined to stop her. After a year of dead ends and a heart-breaking personal tragedy, she’s on the verge of being forced to abandon her personal crusade. But then alerts erupt across the international UFO forums. What are the crystal runic symbols that have appeared all over the Isles of Orkney? Could they mean that the alien intelligence Lauren previously encountered is once again reaching out to humanity? And if so, why? With a ruthless enemy closing in fast, Lauren teams up with Jack Harper, an archaeologist, and UFO skeptic, in a last desperate attempt to unearth the truth. Together, can they discover the source of the strange activity on Orkney? If they fail, humanity will stand alone to face a threat coming for us from the stars. Time is running out for the survival of all life on Earth. Follow humanity’s epic struggle to survive across parallel universes in the Multiverse Chronicles, a series of interlinked stories that include the Earth Song series, its prequel The Signal, and also the Fractured Light and Cloud Rider trilogies, as well as the Inflection Point time travel series. Author Note: The Special Edition of Earth Song, also incorporates the novella, The Signal. For my friends across the Pond, please note that this book is written in UK English and uses single quotes rather than double ones. Yes, Brits are weird like that!

Black Nature is the first anthology to focus on nature writing by African American poets, a genre that until now has not commonly been counted as one in which African American poets have participated. Black poets have a long tradition of incorporating treatments of the natural world into their work, but it is often read as political, historical, or protest poetry--anything but nature poetry. This is particularly true when the definition of what constitutes nature writing is limited to work about the pastoral or the wild. Camille T. Dungy has selected 180 poems from 93 poets that provide unique perspectives on American social and literary history to broaden our concept of nature poetry and African American poetics. This collection features major writers such as Phillis Wheatley, Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sterling Brown, Robert Hayden, Wanda Coleman, Natasha Trethewey, and Melvin B. Tolson as well as newer talents such as Douglas Kearney, Major Jackson, and Janice Harrington. Included are poets writing out of slavery, Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, and late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century African American poetic movements. Black Nature brings to the fore a neglected and vital means of considering poetry by African Americans and nature-related poetry as a whole. A Friends Fund Publication.

In Antarctica, an alien artefact from before the dawn of human history is about to be released… Ever since Lauren and the rest of the team activated the Resonancy Generator near Cuba, the radio signature of our planet known as Earth Song has been changed forever. But it’s raised as many questions as it answered, including why the signal didn’t revert to normal after nearly all the micro minds were all awoken. Could it be there is something else coded into the Earth Song signal and whose purpose hasn’t yet been fulfilled? And if so, does this relate to the buried Angelus secret that lies at the heart of all micro minds? As the team works hard to discover the truth, it soon also becomes apparent that key data is missing thanks to the destruction of many of the micro minds by the Overseers. In a desperate attempt to seek help to understand the true purpose of the broadcast, Lauren heads back to Jodrell Bank to enlist the help of her old friend and boss, Steve Andrews. Working closely with scientists around the world, they must put together the clues and find a way to fully activate the encrypted Earth Song signal. The time has come for old hostilities to be forgotten and for new alliances to be forged. But even then, can the allies hold out long from the first wave of an attack to unearth the buried secret that holds all the answers to our world’s salvation? Earth Scream is the sequel to Earth Yell, and is part of the Multiverse Chronicles, following humanity’s struggle to survive across parallel universes.
