Twins Olivia and Viola have been dragged around the universe; their parents, both xenobiologists, are always in high demand for their research into obscure alien biology. On a new colony world they discover an alien threat unlike anything that has ever been seen. And now the sisters are on the run from terrifying aliens. Olivia's knowledge of xenobiology and determination to protect her sister are her only weapons as the colony collapses into chaos. The creatures infiltrate the rich wildlife on this virgin colony world, and quickly start adapting. Olivia's going to have to adapt, too, if she's going to survive.
Alien Invasion

Spec is supposed to help him find the rest of his crewmates who've also been captured by the aliens. Seems like a piece of cake until Solo_Lobo learns the catch: he can't be seen by the aliens or he'll risk getting caught in their disanimator eye beams, which will send him right back to Level 1. Can he rescue his crew in time to win the game? And is there more to Spec than what she seems?
