Gabe Fuentes is in a race against time - and aliens - in this intergalactic sequel to Ambassador, which Booklist called "an exciting sci-fi adventure, perceptively exploring what it means to be alien", from National Book Award-winner William Alexander. When we last left Earth's Ambassador, Gabe Fuentes, he was stranded on the moon. And when he's rescued by Kaen, another Ambassador, things don't get better: It turns out that the Outlast - a race of aliens that has been systematically wiping out all other creatures - are coming. And they've set their sights on Earth. Enter Nadia. She was Earth's Ambassador before Gabe but left her post in order to stop the Outlast. Nadia has discovered that the Outlast can conquer worlds by travelling fast through lanes created by the mysterious Machinae. No one has communicated with the Machinae in centuries, but Nadia is determined to try, and Gabe and Kaen want to help her. But the three Ambassadors don't know that the Outlast have discovered what they are doing and have sent assassins to track them down. As Nadia heads deeper into space to find the Machinae, Gabe and Kaen return to Earth, where Gabe is trying to find another type of alien - his father, who was deported to Mexico and who Gabe is desperate to bring home. From a detention center in the center of the Arizona desert to the embassy in the center of the galaxy, the three Ambassadors race against time to save their worlds in this exciting, funny, mind-bending adventure.

Nomad is an exhilarating story of one Tibetan nomad family’s escape from the Chinese to seek freedom in exile in Nepal. The epic journey described in this book is a work of fiction, but is based on the experience of many nomad (drogpa) families. The Chinese army’s invasion of Tibet in 1959 and the flight of the Dalai Lama forced many nomads to flee Tibet to seek sanctuary in India or Nepal. They were determined to defend their way of life and their Buddhist religion. Nomad is Tsering Dorje’s story. At the age of 16 Tsedor, as he is affectionately known, has to take responsibility for his young family in their flight over the Himalayas when the Chinese army imprisons his elder brother, mother and uncle. Accompanied by a young girl called Chudun who he has found starving on the Changtang (the tundra plain of northern Tibet) and three younger children, this tiny family group faces dangers crossing rivers, imprisonment, the onset of winter and possible starvation in order to escape. This adventure story paints a vivid and realistic picture of a little known event in recent history.
