Publisher's summary
From one moment to the next, you'll want to discover what happens next. If you're looking for an exhilarating science fiction thriller with a superhero twist, you won't be disappointed.
Charlotte Clearwater is a heroine that comes from another world named Xegistea. On her planet, her species has the ability to heal themselves and others. Charlotte is the only one that possesses the innate ability to teleport. Her ability is awakened when a comet strikes her planet and effectively wipes out her planet. In the midst of this disaster, she finds out that she has teleported to another world different from her planet.
She finds herself on Earth, not knowing how she got there. How is she to adapt to this new planet that she finds herself on and what will she do with her newfound ability? She must find a way to hone in her ability and understand how her teleportation powers work. Her best friend, guardian and mentor, Professor Sheng, helps her hone her skills and adapt to her new home.
Fast forward a few years...the plot revolves around an outbreak of a deadly virus that eventually becomes a pandemic for the entire planet. Against the professor’s warnings, Charlotte now must find a way to save this planet and humanity that she’s come to admire over these past few years she’s been living there. Can her ability to teleport and heal save humanity? She must team up with scientists, doctors, and disease experts around the world to race against time in order to find a cure/vaccine for this virus. Will humanity prevail over this virus? Or will the virus overtake the planet?

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Held my attention
I don’t normally read scifi books. I really got into this. I think in part because the narration was so good. I would definitely recommend.
