From San Francisco to Amsterdam, and Paris to the Serengeti, John discovers that a diamond life can have very rough edges. The Quest by Pam Binder. Time cannot destroy the tapestry of a life woven with love and magic. A professional football player from the twenty-first century, Mac's drive to win any game and Ana's passion to right all wrongs forge a formidable alliance. The Dalari Accord by Matthew Lieber Buchman.
Memory is the alien within.
The Council of United Worlds faces certain annihilation from the warlike Clans of Dalar and their fierce blue AcTyn legions. In desperation, the Council abducts Alaine Davidson from Earth to negotiate a peace accord on their behalf. For once, her lack of memory is considered an asset and perhaps even the key to end the killing. Unfortunately, Dartan, the Clan's reluctant envoy, is a warrior and has little experience with compromise. He also has a lousy sense of humor.
