The series, begun with the Dream Realm Award-winning novel Human By Choice (Bain, Taylor), deals with Earth's inadvertent first contact with the alien race of Cresperians, or "Crispies." The Crispies are an ancient civilization, with amazing abilities to tap into the quantum foam of the universe to perform seemingly miraculous feats. Their technology is equally advanced. As their presence is discovered on Earth, a new form of "space race" begins, as nations around the world vie for control of individual Crispies and their technology.

But the Crispies are not the only race "out there." In the EPPIE finalist Book Two, The Y Factor (Bain, Osborn), the Cresperians and humans stumble across another race, In one mission of interstellar exploration, Earth finds perhaps its greatest allies and its greatest enemies, as they and the Cresperians discover the inimical race of Snappers, a multiple stellar system empire of ruthless ferocity.

The Cresperian Alliance (Osborn, Bain) sees the return of Earth's first starships from Cresperia. As Earth becomes an interstellar species, the ramifications hit home -- literally.  

Unfortunately, when the Snappers decide to expand their domain to include the Cresperian and Earth systems, the two civilizations must find a way to work together in order to prevent their own extermination. And Sergeant Edward "Bang" Bangler finds himself in the midst of two of the biggest battles he's ever been in -- a battle for his heart, and a battle for his home.

The Cresperian Alliance is an exciting, impossible to put down science fiction thriller.

The Cresperian Alliance is expected to be released in trade paperback in July 2010.
