Under the Ember Star

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!
