Vortex on Vertu Prime by Andrew J. Harvey
|
The last thing Tania needs is someone else telling her what to do. Her mother does enough of that already! But during a school trip to the museum, she somehow finds herself gaining a bossy, alien teddy bear called Edward, who decides to adopt her.
When Tania, Edward, and her friends Mark and Windracer join Tania's mom on Vertu Station, they are put up in a 5-star hotel on part of the planet's sole remaining arcology; a massive, pyramid-shaped, self-contained city. But after Archaeologists accidentally activate an alien temporal warp generator, Tania, Mark, Windracer, and Edward are thrown backward through time. With Edward's power reserves dangerously low, it is up to the three friends to reach the generator and turn it off-before it destroys the planet. An exciting sequel to Crisis at Calista Station, Vortex on Vertu Prime invites readers to join Tania, Mark, and Windracer in a new adventure with new friends.

Trouble on Teral by Andrew J. Harvey

Perhaps coming to visit his mom on Teral Four without her permission had not been one of Mark’s brightest ideas. But after she cancelled his visit to her archaeological dig, he had felt he had no choice. Now he wasn’t so sure.
When his dad, a Colonel in the UN Peacekeepers, found out, he was going to go ballistic. Unfortunately for Mark, the Llarst, violent aliens who already fought one war with Earth, have taken his mother and the other archaeologists hostage. And if the Llarst find what they’re looking for, all of Earth will be in danger. With just the assistance of Windracer, a young saurian on her first vision quest, and her elephant- sized groundhog, Mark must rescue his mother and her friends, stop the Llarst, and face his dad. Piece of Cake. AVAILABLE in paperback and ebook from Amazon.com , Barnes & Noble, and other great booksellers everywhere! |
