Fugitive federal agents Sebastian Vickery and Ingrid Castine, both sensitive to the ghosts that haunt the modern Los Angeles highways, are plunged into the supernatural secrets of the vast city and its history—from the fallout of Satanic indie movies of the '60s, to the unquiet La Brea Tar Pits at midnight, to a haunted Sunken City off the coast of San Pedro seeking to rise again. Vickery and Castine may be old hands at dealing with the spirit world of L.A., but they have never been in a pursuit so deadly with the stakes so high.

The Kimei family and another group of castaways, led by the redoubtable Sergeant Campbell, have finally joined forces after landing on the bizarre planet Lincoln. They have survived crash-landings, venom-filled bites, disease, and even the destruction—and consumption!—of one of their floating island homes. They have learned to live, even to prosper, in this strange new place. But the resourcefulness of the castaways may not be enough. Because the planet Lincoln is far from done with them.

When a mysterious alien probe materializes from Jump Space and remotely reprograms USS Cam Ranh Bay’s star drive, naval reserve officer Sam Bitka and his crew begin an involuntary voyage that takes them three thousand light years out of known space, and into the heart of an ancient, unknown civilization. But the genetically altered immortals known as The Guardians soon turn murderously violent. Now Sam and his crew must elude capture and return with the news of a powerful new civilization bent on their destruction. But the crew of The Bay may also be carrying a secret that would change life in the galaxy forever: the path to immortality.

In Frank Chadwick’s latest novel Ship of Destiny, Sam Bitka and his crew encounter of race of immortals bent on destroying humankind. Chadwick puts his own unique spin on the tale, but this isn’t the first time aliens have attempted to take humans down a notch, in fiction. So, in a short paragraph (100 words or fewer) tell us what your favorite science fiction novel, film, or television show in which extraterrestrials threaten our existence is, and why, for a chance to win a copy of Ship of Destiny, signed by Frank Chadwick!
