'An alt-history with a difference' GUARDIAN
This is a secret history of our world like no other . . .
Always run, never fight.
Preserve the knowledge.
Survive at all costs.
Take them to the stars.
_________
Germany, 1945.
Mia, a nineteen-year-old girl, is sent by the OSS to find Wernher von Braun: Germany's - and the world's - foremost rocket scientist. Her mission: stop the Russians getting hold of him.
But von Braun is suspicious. And so he should be.
For Mia is no ordinary girl. She only looks human. And helping the Allies win the Second World War is just one part of her plan . . .
Because there's an even darker conflict on Earth. A secret struggle thousands of years old. One that has taken generations of Mia's people.
But can the firing of rockets finally bring about its end?
Can Mia, as the last of her kind, bring the stars down to earth?
And if she succeeds, what will happen to us?

Store description
I am a long-time reader and collector of books, including general literature, fiction, and science fiction/fantasy. I am now pursuing one of my ambitions, that is to use my interests and experience and become a fulltime Bookseller. I continue to acquire books that are appealing to me and hopefully also to you. My acquisitions include new and future releases as well as previously published items. I therefore have, and will continue to have, many interesting items for sale. Most of my available items are First Editions, First Printings and identified as such. Whenever possible I obtain signed copies. This includes through attendance at Readings, Book Fairs and, recently, via on-line meetings. All dust jackets are wrapped in Archival dust jacket cover to protect them and to enhance the appearance of the book. I also have a large collection of comics, which is undergoing review and some of which are being offered for sale. I will also offer, from time to time, Art-related items including Catalogues, Posters and Prints. I have been a dealer in sports cards and memorabilia, as well as comics, selling at Shows and Conventions. Therefore, as both a collector and seller, I understand your need for well maintained items in good condition and fairness in describing items offered for sale. We also accept responsibility for proper packaging of items to avoid shipping-related damage, even if it increases the cost of getting the item to you. We make these requirements our obligation to you the client. Thanks for your interest in our items.…
