Kitty and Jeff have been enjoying a relatively quiet few
months. Kitty is working with some of her friends to expose
the
Mastermind, but they haven't had much luck finding the
evidence they need, and just when it appears life has
settled, an
assassin who looks a lot like Jeff's niece, Stephanie,
appears.
Then the Alpha Centauri Planetary
Council requests a visit to Earth wanting to meet
the president and vice-president. The villains captured in
ALIEN SEPARATION
manage to escape from the secure prison
complicating life even more. Next, the president dies
after exposure to what everyone assumed was a mild virus.
The virus starts taking even more lives as Kitty and Jeff
find themselves being sworn in as the President and First
Lady. As they battle their enemies, Kitty finds herself
guarding a young lady who is the daughter of one of
Kitty's assassin friends. When everything goes sour, it's
Kitty's quick
thinking that
will save their lives as well as many others.
Ms. Koch's highly successful Katherine "Kitty" Katt
series just keeps
getting better with ALIEN IN CHIEF. Ms. Koch does an
incredible job of world
building. She keeps the tension high in each book, and her
writing keeps the reader hanging on for the ride. I love
Kitty's attitude in general but especially towards those
who hurt her friends and family. She is unforgiving when
the need arises. The love story between Jeff and Kitty
became a smaller part of the story in ALIEN IN CHIEF,
but it is a pivotal part of what keeps the reader
invested in the stories.
Alien in Chief is the latest adventure in Gini
Koch’s
rollicking and snarky Alien series and the thrilling sequel
to Alien Separation.
As Kitty can tell you, it’s not easy being the wife of the
vice president—especially not when he’s an alien from the
Alpha Centauri system. But she and her A-C husband, Jeff,
have
learned how to roll with whatever life and the bad guys
throw
at them—they think.
When the Alpha Centauri Planetary Council requests a visit
with the president and vice president, things look
politically
dicey. When the most dangerous prisoners in the most secure
supermax prison escape with ease, things look bad. But when
the Mastermind releases a virus that kills people in a
week,
things go to Defcon Worse fast.
Now it’s up to Kitty to save everyone important in the U.S.
government—including her mother, her husband, and herself—
before the virus spreads through the rest of the country,
and
then the world. Plus she’s facing invisible attackers,
crazed
assassins, a teenager in hiding, the most dangerous train
ride
ever, the disappearance of her beloved flyboys, and a
mysterious alien who could be an enemy or the ally she
needs.
And this time, the Mastermind’s made it very personal.
Either
he’s going down...or Kitty is.
