About the book
Three bored Milanese book editors decide to amuse themselves with an elaborate literary hoax. Their “Plan” links the medieval Knights Templar to centuries of occult groups, weaving history, conspiracy, and myth into a fictional map pointing to the place from which the powers of the earth can be controlled—Foucault’s Pendulum in Paris.
At first, it is all an intellectual game. But when real secret societies catch wind of the Plan, the joke becomes deadly. One of the editors is murdered, and the line between invention and reality dissolves.
As the remaining two race to stay alive, they must confront the dangerous allure of their own creation.
Umberto Eco’s masterpiece is part erudite puzzle, part conspiracy thriller, and entirely unforgettable.

Our take
A. G. Wilde’s Xul (4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon) launches the Captured by Aliens series with a steamy, high-stakes romance. Trapped on a slave ship, Athena’s only chance of escape lies with Xul, a mission-driven alien she finds both maddening and irresistible.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Athena wakes up on an alien slave ship with three options: mate, become a sex slave, or die. None of them are appealing.
When a chance for freedom appears in the form of a dangerously handsome alien named Xul, she takes it. But Xul is on a mission he cannot afford to compromise, and letting her in—especially into his heart—could ruin everything.
Athena finds him infuriating, bossy, and entirely too attractive for her own good. Survival means trusting him, even as they clash at every turn.
In Xul, the first book in the Captured by Aliens series, danger, passion, and reluctant partnership ignite into something neither expected. Steamy, action-packed, and with a guaranteed happily ever after, it is alien romance at its most addictive.

About the book
I wake up bloody, bruised, and with no memory of who I am. The flicker of emergency lights tells me one thing—I am in serious trouble.
Before I can get my bearings, something moves in the shadows. The monster that emerges is huge, terrifying, and very much not human. He decides I am his responsibility, whether I like it or not.
Trapped together in an alien jungle with no common language, we survive through gestures, crude drawings, and an unexpected connection that burns hotter with every passing day. He wants to get me home. I just hope I can figure out where that is.
I may never recover my past, but with him, I might discover a future worth remembering.
