Ettie Explores Earth: An Ettie the Explorer Adventure Story is a sweet and fun children’s book written and designed by Lynn Holland. In vivid and brightly-colored pictures, Ettie, a smiling alien in a UFO from Green Cheeze, learns about the solar system and the Earth.

Alliance.125: Hirunda is the first in Raita Jauhiainen ambitious science fiction series about a post-war dystopia called Gavialis. The city is broken up into seven circles, the first being the least prestigious, the seventh is the most. It is forbidden for people from the lower-caste circles to travel to the higher echelons of society. This is a sterile world, where children are bred selectively in “artificial wombs,” and the civilization is facing catastrophe because too few girls are being born. Boys grow up viewing women as rare and exotic, and women are followed around by a pair of bodyguards.
