Colony

Adam Flynn is the only human ever born on Mars, and he's spent seventeen years waiting for colonists to arrive. But when an alien swarm erupts from beneath the Martian surface and decimates the new colony, Adam must lead a group of teenagers in a desperate fight for survival against an enemy that doesn't just kill. It thinks, plans, and burrows its way into human minds.

Rise

Adam survived the massacre that destroyed his colony, and now he only wants to keep the other survivors alive. Then Earth sends new arrivals who don't believe what happened — until it starts again. They flee to the orbiting starship Horizon, but the nightmare follows them aboard, and soon the ship itself begins to turn against them.

Ron Wolff loves outer space, high-stakes survival, and epic fight scenes. She came by her bug obsession honestly — years of living in both India and Hawaii will do that to a person. She enjoys painting imaginary planets, will never forgive gravity, and believes the most important survival skill is knowing when to run. Especially on Mars.
