Ian McDonald‘s CHAGA: On the trail of the mystery of Saturn’s disappearing moons, network journalist Gaby McAslan finds herself in Africa researching the Kilimanjaro Event: a meteor-strike in Kenya which caused the stunning African landscape to give way to something equally beautiful – and indescribably alien. Dubbed the ‘Chaga’, the alien flora destroys all man-made materials, and moulds human flesh, bone and spirit to its own designs. But when Gaby finds the first man to survive the Chaga’s changes, she realizes it has its own plans for humankind… Against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, McDonald weaves a staggering tale of keen human observation and speculation, as the Kilimanjaro Event changes the course of the human race by exposure to something beyond its imagination.

Louis Charbonneau‘s CORPUS EARTHLING: Professor Paul Cameron is the only one who can hear them, the voices in his mind, sinister and menacing. At first he believes that they are only delusions. But the truth is far more disturbing—somehow, Cameron is able to hear Martian spies conferring telepathically. Their ominous plotting is terrifying enough, until the moment they realize someone has been listening in… The aliens attack Cameron’s mind with commands to kill himself, terrible orders he is barely able to resist. When an alien-possessed human murders a witness to the latest attempt on Cameron’s life, he realizes they are more powerful than even he imagined. The extraterrestrials can invade human bodies, as well as minds, but they have an even bigger target in sight: Earth.
