A MISSION UNLIKE ANY OTHER. WHAT THEY FOUND WAS BEYOND BELIEF.

John Lewis is a computer scientist recruited for a covert mission in the deepest regions of space.

When he makes a seemingly critical error during a test flight, the operation’s only orbiter crashes on a lush, highly classified planet. This leaves John, his boss Dirk, and exobiologist Ruth stranded, with few supplies and little chance of rescue.

Their best hope for escape is a lost landing craft that detached during their descent. To find it, they must search an unknown world while infiltrating the first extraterrestrial society human beings have ever encountered.

But this isn’t their greatest challenge. It’s something else. Something far more profound. Revealed through the aliens’ storytelling culture is a secret that could destabilize Earth and civilization as we know it.

And that secret is about to be exposed.

TAKING THE WORLD BY SWARM

Heath and Katy are entomology grad students working on summer research projects in the Pacific Northwest. Their plans abruptly change, however, when their university receives a shocking phone call from a panicked stranger.

Murder hornets have once again been spotted in the area, but this time they are…different. Larger, smarter, and vicious beyond reckoning. Heath and Katy investigate the sighting, with consequences far more dire than either of them could know.

Surviving a vicious encounter, Heath is thrust into a world of monstrous alien bugs, where an unlikely ally is all that stands between Earth and an unstoppable insect invasion.

A thrilling homage to the classic monster movies of the 50s and 60s, MONARCH is a sci-fi creature feature with heart, humor, and hordes of horrifically huge hornets!
