First up is Jon S. Lewis' second installment in the steampunked C.H.A.O.S. Trilogy: Alienation, releasing January 3. Lewis co-wrote the Grey Griffins series with Derek Benz, selling over 850,000 copies. Here's the blurb:
The invasion was only the beginning . . .After his parents were killed in a car accident, Colt McAllister was drawn into a world he thought only existed in comic books—one where mind control, jet packs, and flying motorcycles don't even scratch the surface.
Along with his best friends Oz and Danielle, Colt is now training at the secret Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural academy. But strange accidents seem to follow him. . . even with the security of the school grounds. What first seems random soon turns deadly. But who is targeting Colt?
As the alien invasions increase in frequency and force, C.H.A.O.S resources are taxed to the limit and they're forced to utilize the new recruits. In the midst of battle, Colt will discover some startling revelations . . . about himself, his friendship with Oz, and why he has been chosen to defeat this alien attack against earth.
Second is the launch of a new series called Helium-3 by Homer Hickam entitled Crater, releasing April 10. Hickam is best known for his number one New York Times bestselling novel Rocket Boys which was later made into the movie October Sky. Here's the blurb:
A Helium–3 miner named Crater makes a treacherous journey through space to find a mysterious and priceless treasure.It's the 22nd Century and a tough, pioneering people are mining the moon to produce energy for a desperate, war-torn Earth. Crater, an orphan, loves his life in Moontown, a frontier mining settlement. Not quite sixteen-years-old, he is already a seasoned Helium–3 miner with hopes to be a foreman on the scrapes someday.
But the man who owns the mine has a different plan for Crater and another orphan, a young girl with a violent past named Souza. With Souza and his gillie—a sentient and sometimes insubordinate clump of slime-mold cells—Crater must venture forth on a forbidding river of dust. Together, they'll cross the hostile Lunar terrain before vaulting in to the far reaches of space.
Danger, adventure, and discovery await them as Crater, the gillie, and Souza use their wits and courage to find a mysterious treasure.
Unfortunately, Thomas Nelson seems to have delayed Robert Liparulo's post apocalyptic Hunter Trilogy yet again, though the first of Liparulo's Immortal Files entitled The 13th Tribe, aimed at adults, will release in April.
