Katherine (Kitty) Kat became involved when her automatic reactions proved just the ticket for fending off and defeating said monsters. In the course of her first experience, she met Jeff Martini, a super hot A.C. (see Touched By an Alien and Alien Tango ). She became their number one, Superbeing Exeterminator (her own choice of title), and head of the Aero Division of the Alpha Centaurian forces, as well as Jeff Martini's main squeeze. Now Kitty and Jeff are engaged to marry. Somehow with the demands of their jobs, the details of planning the wedding have been pushed to the back of her mind, despite the nagging and harassing and strong words of those involved, waiting on her decisions on such world-shaking matters like bridesmaids, flowers, venue etcetera.

Worse yet, long lost relatives always show up at these things. Bad enough if it's weird Aunt Gertrude from Poughkeepsie, but when they come from another world possibly bent on the annihilation of Earth, who knows what party favors they will be bringing along?

Kitty's cadre is called by Chuckie (head of the CIA's ET Division) to the top of Animas Peak in New Mexico to witness an alien light show that bears a striking resemblance to the betrothal Unity Necklace Kitty got from Martini. A light show that just might be an RSVP to Kitty and Jeff's wedding. Or another invasion of Fuglies to Earth. Whichever.

Gini Koch has another winner, plenty of action combined with just the right touch of humor and a kick-ass storyline. What's not to like?

As you may be able to tell, I am a huge fan of Koch's Alien series, of which ALIEN IN THE FAMILY is book three. Book four, Alien Proliferation is due out in December, 2011.
