The day after The Flux hit, Jase Holland was still alive...and immune. The world was not as lucky. The Flux was a genetic plague-possibly leaked from a biowarfare lab-and it played havoc with the DNA of every living thing, mutating genes to create monsters and strange new sentient beasts both beautiful and deadly. Jase's fiancée-Jenn-was pregnant when The Flux struck. He rushed to reach her but found his path blocked by what appeared to be demons intent on destroying the last remnants of humanity. He called them the Vile and began to wonder if something more than human hubris had triggered The Flux. What mattered most, though, was saving the woman he loved. And she was nowhere to be found.

In the tradition of the old Ace Doubles (flip one book over to read the second title), here's the twenty-fifth Wildside Double:UNDER THE EMBER STAR: A SCIENCE FANTASY NOVEL, by Charles Allen Gramlich. Ginn Hollis was fourteen when her father's mysterious death left her alone on the planet Kelmer. She's grown up since then. Kelmer is a harsh world, an old world: its people are ancient, its civilization long fallen and dimly dreaming under a brown dwarf sun the natives call the Ember Star. But now, long dormant forces are beginning to stir on Kelmer, forces that could destroy the planet forever...or bring it back to life. One being stands at the center of the turmoil. His origins are veiled, his destiny is unclear. Everyone wants a piece of him. Only Ginn Hollis can protect him from both sides--if she can save herself first.... Another grand science-fantasy adventure by a riveting storyteller!THE BATTLE FOR EDEN: THE HUMAN-KNACKER WAR, BOOK THREE, by Mark E. Burgess. A spacefaring horde of carnivorous crab-like aliens known as the Knackers is advancing toward the human core worlds, decimating outlying systems as they go. When the invaders approach Eden, one of the most beautiful and populous planets in the Human Federation, it's up to SpaceForce to make a stand. In the skies over Eden, the battle rages--and one war-weary fighter, Major Simon Roy, falls to ground in his wounded ship. There he takes refuge with a brave family of farmers living peacefully in the idyllic countryside. When the aliens overwhelm the planet's defenses, the impromptu companions find themselves isolated and in peril. As they fight for survival, can Simon rediscover his humanity, and find a way to make his own stand against an enemy that has never been defeated? The exciting third novel in this continuing military SF series!

In his newest collection of stories and verse, Charles Allen Gramlich turns to the creatures of the night--and the rough music they make: "Predation is in the bones, in the marrow. The ultimate need is for food, but even when sated, a carnivore will still hunt. It wants the wet taste of food, the sweetness of watermelon flesh. Oh, it might be distracted temporarily, but its need to kill isn't rational--and it won't be denied its blood!" Great tales of vampires and werewolves by a master storyteller.
