Book — Shrike

When the alien Legion took over, Sheena lost everything. All she has left is one final, unlikely dream: the Rebellion. But when she arrives, it's to a Rebellion shattered by the loss of its leader, pushed to increasingly desperate measures — including working with their alien enemy. As tensions mount, Sheena has to face the question: when you have nothing left, what do you fight for?

Book — Crossing Flight

The alien Legion has taken over. Once a veteran fighter pilot, Mel now spends her days hiding from the constant threat of the alien Legion in the basement of an old ranger station, deep in the untouched wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. But when Laione, a winged Legion scout, is shot down right over her head, Mel seizes what could be her last chance to fulfill a lifelong dream. What starts out as an uneasy truce slowly morphs into something more as they race against the clock. The Legion is coming. Can they finish in time?

Description

After an alien Legion arrives and devastates human civilization via bioweapons and military might, a small band of humans continue to fight back.
