Last of Her Kind

A prelude to the Newearth series, Last of Her Kind by A. K. Frailey opens with a powerful premise: humans are becoming more and more infertile, a trend that might as well spell extinction. Anne Smith, a school teacher when we meet her, is desperately hoping that she can become pregnant. Having been raised by a paranoid mother, she is determined to be anything but who her mother was. She will find herself brought by circumstances into an alliance that could be the only hope for humanity. Cerulean is an alien watcher from the planet Lux and fascinated by Anne, he is determined to save the human race. But the discovery that his race is using humans in crossbreeding experiments changes him in inconceivable ways. The future of humanity may depend on the connection he forges with Anne, but with conflict deepening in his own world, what are the options for the guardian-alien?
